Vazkii, any chance of a Gaia Guardian spawn egg? It's a bit hard to document the boss on the wiki seeing as the Ritual of Gaia is quite strict and I've only managed to perform it once Nope, no it isn't, it's just me not being able to construct rituals. Plus it teleports so fast I can hardly see its features! :p
Also, I've noticed that the Gaia Gurdian teleports into nowhere when left alone for a while?
Mana Cats and wolfs are to manastream(see what I did there =P )
I require a Mana squid and Sheep.
*"Wolves"* is the plural. ;)
I like how you give Mana Cats a proper title with capitals, while you leave wolves with a sappy name.
Also, if it were cats, wouldn't the wolves be dogs, same with ocelots and wolves.

I was debating about if it was supposed to be Wolfs or Wolves =P
But still Mana Squid. No reason to add anything else with that masterpiece of an idea.

I've already had enough trouble trying to screenshot this Gaia Guardian for the wiki...if you're so keen on the idea, would you mind documenting the mob? :p

If you need a screenshot of the Gaia Guardian I can most likely hook you up =P

EDIT: Well I did the boss fight, and I must say it was actually really good, enjoyed it a lot. Elementium Armor is a must, that or Terrasteel. I used a combo of them and a notch apple and still ended the fight with half health.

There's your screen shot =D
Fought it a second time. With a strength potion, notch apple, haste 3 boots and paving stones of travel it was an easy fight just due to the damage I was doing and the fact that it's teleporting was a non existent factor because of how fast I would reach it anyways.

EDIT 2: Bonus points to anyone who realizes the skin *cough it's the same guy as my forum avatar cough*

Took me 20 minutes to try and get a good screenshot while he was standing still, but oh well...

Your Gaia Guardian is actually completely different to mine, check out the screenie I took on here...?

IIRC it's based off the player skin, just darker.

So, @Vazkii anything here?
Sorry for only replying now, the forums decided to be stupid and refused to send me notifications of posts here even though I'm subscribed to this thread, so I missed a bunch of stuff.

So I'm doing stuff on the wiki and I have a question. Vazki what's your favorite block in Botania :)
I really like the Open Crate and Eye of the Ancients, the first because it's a pretty simple block that's a crucial element in automating botania, the second because the animation took me ages and I think looks pretty cool.

The Gaia Gurdian is very overpowered! :p
But where's the fun in no challenge.
Are there any plans to implement more mobs Vazkii?
Not right now.

Correct. It uses a shader. If shaders are disabled in the config or the GPU can't handle them, it just uses the actual player skin, as happened to Nfrance.

Well I had the bright Idea of having Gaia Guardian fight the Wither. That was a major let down when neither did damage to the other =P. And yep, I disabled shaders for performance reasons.

Yeah. And the Gaia Guardian doesn't let you run o_O
Then I tried it in creative. Still a let down, as even though Wither attacked it, it did 0 damage to it =(
I still want my Mana Squid, because Squids. That are manay.
Or, how about a... wait for it.... A mana ray. Ba dum tiss
We need more puns.
