[NEW] - Mob Suggestion: The Lunger
'''NOTICE: This is only a suggestion and is not even considered to be completely official. It is unlikely that a Zombie such as this will likely even be in the game at all. TL;DR is NOW included in this discussion!'''

Hoo baby, back onto the Mobs Category! And this time, I piped up a good one - and it's based off of one of my oldest suggestions on the wiki - which... was really horrible now that I look back to it. So the mob I will be presenting is named the Lunger - a Range-Based mob that has similarities to the Elemental (Fire), however different. So please, proceed on to what I have crafted - either better or worse... xD

Summary
Lungers - while appearing as if a Normal Zombie, are quick, deadly mobs with "thorns" growing from the chest, back, arms and head that can be used as literal projectiles towards their prey.

While the mob can lunge - hence the name - the projectiles on the move, using it's abilities can be costly if one does not land on it's target. However, it has 3 course of actions: Lunge, Volley and Unfurl - however, it's spikey body can cause serious damage if one lets them get a hold of them.

If used and played strategically, this mob can be a very serious danger in more numbers and make any high place another grave site for unfortunate Survivors.

Background Story
"Lunger" was the only name fitting for this thing.

They take the appearance as hooded gangsters with ski goggles on that at first, we thought it was the Hunter - until upon closer inspection that their quill-like thorns that grow from their skin are seen, making them human versions of Porcupines.

It's claws are deadly on their own, but the talk of the show is that it is smart enough to LUNGE these things in your face - not just one, but multiple times. In the end, there's only one thing that we all need in this world - More bullets to take it straight to the hell it came from.

Controls & Abilities Information
Slower Stamina Regen (Passive): The Lunger's Stamina Regen is 35% slower out of all the mobs - perhaps exceeding the Elemental's. This is to maintain balance.

Spikey Thorns (Passive): Upon being touched, a survivor gets inflicted by -4 HP per second and continues until the mob is either killed or has stopped getting close and personal with you.

Claw: The Lunger's basic attack that deals -5 HP Damage to a player.

Consumes no energy.

Lunge: Throws out a single Thorn projectile that has a range of 200. Each thorn thrown deals -6 HP Damage.

Consumes 5 energy. Can move while firing the projectiles!

Volley: The Lunger cover's it's face (the throns facing the front) and a series of thorns will fire out like an automatic gun. at a 1.2 rate of fire, it can Damage a user by -4 HP per thorn, it's a faster way than single controlled clicks - however, you will become immobile to maintain your highly-accuracy shots.

Consumes 8 energy until the user has manually stopped or has depleted energy. Cannot move while firing the projectiles!

Unfurl: This move requires a fraction of a second's immobilization. The Lunger would bow it's head and let out a 'sneeze' - which showers an area with thorns in a 90 degree angle. Survivor's caught in it's path would be dealt -4 HP Damage.

Consumes 80 energy. Cannot move while firing the projectiles for 1.5 seconds! Depending how far you are from it's ability, there is a chance to avoid being hit!

Sprint: This makes the movement speed of the Lunger faster. It's position is similar towards a Digger - except with a different run animation.

Consumes 3.5 energy until the user has manually stopped or has depleted energy.

Conclusion
And that concludes the Discussion.

But hey, this is only a suggestion! So if it does get accepted, do not take the stats/model listed here as fact - as they are succeptable to change by the owner's decision.

Hopefully you guys like my suggestion!
