Host

Hosts are the secondary Evolution an Assimilated Mob can reach.

Hosts are burrower and hybrid Parasites, able to both move underground and to attack in melee or in ranged.

Description
The Host body is a towering mass of tentacles and Skeletons bodies, which it uses for protection. The latter ones present a slightly different appearance than their Vanilla Variant, namely, their eye sockets and the presence of teeth. The Host body starts from a main, thicker tentacle, at the exact center of its body structure. At the bottom of this tentacle there is a more plain formation, on which both small tendrils and large tentacles emerge. From the aforementioned thicker tentacle emerge smaller tentacles and tendrils, and on this same tentacle are placed a total of 7 Skeletons.

Attacks and Abilities
Hosts are hybrid foes. They're both able to attack in melee, inflicting AoE Damage and in ranged, shooting red-coloured Bombs. While they're underground, they release a trail of Residue while also spawning Rupters when they're nearby Aggressive Mobs. They can only move while being underground, while they can attack when on the surface and when emerging. Hosts can be damaged only when they're on the surface, though, with the usage of Magma Blocks, they can also get damaged while moving underground.
