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

Well, here we are again with yet another mob suggestion - like damn, I am on a role with this for the time being. So I had been thinking of a new mob for a while and... well, got an inspiration from the Bee Movie (Yeah... let's Bee-gin with those meme's...). So this mob is named the Swarmmer. So please, feel free to see what this suggestion has to offer!

Summary
The Swarmer is a slow, lightly armored mob that has the apparel of a Bee Keeper, it's key method's of attacking are by slowing their victims with their sticky range attack or otherwise direct attack - with Bee's assisting them to do serious maximum damage.

Visually alike to the Ticker variant, This mob does not use radiation to it's counterpart, but with the force of mother nature and slowness from the very stickiness of the Honey.

If used and playing it's ability's wisely, the Swarmer can lead much chaos onto lone and small group of survivors.

Background Story
As if things were not bad enough, the Swarmercan be the most in-peculiar creature for most survivor's to see. While it's posture and looks can be compared with the Ticker, the mob's entire apparel is entirely of a bee keeper with a shattered bee hive stuck to it's head while have globs of honey on it's former uniform and hands.

However it is like any foul monster - to attack upon any human. The stickiness of the honey is enough to slow it's targets from direct attack or a successful chuck of honey that splatters all over a survivor. What is worse? The bee's will be attracted to survivor's and attack them by stinging them.

Depending on the survivor's situation, they should always consider the Swarmer a serious threat if it is with even the most dangerous of infected's in all means to end a survivor's life quicker. Luckily the buzzing can be heard from many feet away to know it's presence.

Controls & Abilities
Sticky Scratch: The Swarmer scratches their victims at close range, inflicting 7 points of damage. If hit, The survivor will have their walkspeed/attack speed (Melee's Only) slowed by the honey that sticks onto the survivor.

Consumes no energy.

Chuck Honey: The Swarmer gathers a big glob of Honey and chucks it at a target. If successfully hitting the target, the user's screen would be covered in honey (temporary blindness), and slowing the Survivor's Walkspeed/Attack speed (Melee's Only). Attack deals NO damage!

Consumes 25 (A quarter) of it's energy. Has a range of 90 before falling. '''NOTICE: This is a single click ability! You do not need to hold it down to cast it!'''

Angry Bee's [Passive]: Any target (Except it's allies) that the Swarmer has covered the target in honey will automatically attack the said-target inflicting 3 damage per .5 seconds. If any survivor unaffected Shoots or Melee's the Swarmer (either with weapons or kick/punch/kick) would be automatically attacked by Bee's.

Consumes no energy. Lasts for 5 seconds (30 Damage total). Can be countered if stepping into open flame or in an explosion. Can be immune to Angry Bee's if wearing a Beekeeper Suit!

'''Slowness! [Passive Effect]: Either by direct or ranged attack, the Swarmer's''' Honey reduces the walkspeed by -4 for and slowing any of your melee attacks while draining energy by -2 every .5 seconds. Effect lasts 5 seconds until returning the player to a normal state (-20 Energy lost before effect ends)

Consumes no energy. Can be countered if someone sprays a Fire Extinguisher on you to remove Effect!

Survivors

 * If ill-equipped, it is dangerous to attack the Swarmer since any attack would make the bee's angry to defend it's home - in that case, the zombie.
 * Using A Flamethrower, RPG or anything with fire and explosives can kill the bee's and the mob at the same time, reducing any risk of being attacked.
 * If you are covered in Honey, do not run - use the energy you have to defend yourself as best as you can!.
 * Or find anyone with a Fire Extinguisher to get you out of the effect quicker.

Zombies

 * As a Swarmer, it is best to work with other zombies to help take down survivor's faster.
 * As long as they have the Slowness Effect on them - or your Bee's attacking them, you would get a kill if you are lucky.
 * You do not have a lot of health or the necessary damage to take on lone survivor's directly.
 * Using the Bee's that surround you is your best bet at killing any survivor - so long as you know what you are doing.
 * Beware of Fire and Explosives as your bee's will be killed instantaniously with you.
 * Which is mostly best to keep your distance in the first place.

Trivia

 * The model is inspired from the Beekeeper's suit from Bee Movie.
 * Yeah, I had to endure lots of dead memes in it with my family... x.x.
 * Besides the fact it has low health and damage, it would be the only mob currently to slow down Surviviors.
 * The current model has an acceptable range of meshes.
 * Since this is summer, this makes a great mob for this season especially.
 * Besides the Bloater, Beast and Siren (non-canon mobs); this is a mob I had been working on for some time.
 * Whether it is accepted or not is up to PlaceRebuilder.

QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY BE CONCERNED WITH
Why Does The Swarmer Have A Decent Amount Of Health?

(A) - While this is to counter from being killed very quickly, It's suit is sort of like a padding or something with the hat to increase it's HP not too significantly.

Why Does The Swarmer's Honey Slow Survivors?

(A) - In reality, it's not that sticky, but it's not like that is the case with PR Logic in R2D:A. Slowness is just a new form of mechanic for survivor's to adapt to and be more cautious to not be slowed by a zombie in a beekeeper's clothing.

Isn't The Bee's Overpowering If I Keep Getting Constantly Slimed With Honey Or Attacking It In General?

(A) - Well for you to complain about this, you must really suck at dodging things. You can easily avoid it's attacks by zig-zagging to mess the user's aiming or just kill it off as fast as you can.

Why Would You Suggest This Mob?

(A) - The previous mobs I have suggested are quite into the spotlight currently - while they are still onofficial and.

Conclusion
And that concludes the Discussion.

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

Hopefully you guys like my suggestion! If you think "Swarmer" needs a better name, I am open for any other names that would be a bit more suiting for this mob or anything other in the comments!

Feel free to leave a kudo - either by love or liberty - I am not forcing you to like this.
