Summary0007790: enemies that turn into blocking terrain upon death
DescriptionEnemies that turn into blocking terrain upon death could provide some interesting tactical decisions when facing a group of mobs; especially indoors.

You'd probably want the created background terrain to be destroyable like other background objects in order to prevent the player from trapping themselves somewhere.

Flavor-wise, these creatures would probably have to be rock or ice (creature turns into a boulder upon death, creature turns into a chunk of ice upon death).

Possibly the creature could be air with a small wind-graphic that pushes the player in a certain direction; or alternately, a small wind-graphic that strongly re-directs player projectiles that enter the created terrain (should not affect melee'ish attacks). Wind should 'push' towards the player upon death of the creature. Not sure this particular wind-graphic like effect would make sense to be destroyable like the above blocking terrain would.

Magma or metal monsters could work as well. Magma would cool to stone on death, and metal would leave a chunk of metal.

Of course the easy route past would simply be teleport :)
