If there were to be a Red Panda boss, it would have skills leaning toward elusiveness. It would have a basic scratch attack that wouldn't do a whole lot of damage, but, if hit by it, could build up a combo meter with which the Panda would unleash dozens of quick little scratches. The combo would end with a powerful chomp. The Red Panda would also posses the ability to summon several flaming sticks of bamboo from the ground and launch them with deadly velocity in a scatter-shot almost impossible to dodge. The Red Panda wouldn't be the most difficult boss due to its on weakness: Its head. It would wear a helmet but the helm falls off continually throughout the fight. When the helmet falls off of its head, it will take a few seconds to look for it and put it back on again. This would be your chance to unleash all your power. That's my idea of what a Red Panda would be like if it were a boss.

Plays with Toes: Begins to roll, play and act cute causing all female players to become useless and all male players to enrage and attack random targets.

Bamboo Snack: Begins to feast on a bamboo shoot for 30 secs, regaining 5% of its max health every 3 secs,
but defense is lowered.

I Love You Hug: Hugs a random player draining it of 33% of its max health, if the target survives it is charmed
for 12 secs.

Play - Red Panda interacts and plays with foes using its mighty teeth and claws. Deals 30-40 slashing damage. If there are more than 3 targets Red Panda becomes excited and deals an extra 30-40 piercing damage.

Red Pandas curiosity - Red Pandas curiosity drives him to bounce towards his foes and in doing so, squishes all in its path. Deals 20-30 squishing damage. If foes are using a skill Red Panda will will deal an extra 15 squishing damage.

Embrace of the Red Panda - Red Panda receives a hearty and loving embrace from its kin. Heals for 100. If Red Panda is surrounded by more than one Red Panda kin then he receives +50 per Red Panda kin.

I think that the red panda should be it's actual size but I will adjust my thoughts.

I think it should be a mother panda (Giant of course). Her attacks would be charge (Run around frantic), roar (Calling for its cub, swipe (to move heroes out of the way), and toss (throws players that are in a cone in line sight).

The reason for the battle is that some of her cubs depending on the size of group 1-10 would run around and run up the legs of one of the group members. She would run around frantically trying to find them. Only way to get the cub out of the person that has begun to be uncontrolled and doing a funky dance is to attack them. Most of the group will focus on the mother but the rest will be trying to get the kids away from other players.

I would use it cute unbalanced "stand on two legs"-dance to stun the enemy with their cuteness and then it would use:

Combo attack:

jump on the enemy, knocking the enemy down on their back and dig their claws into them in the same way that they dig in the snow.

jump on the enemy, knocking the enemy down on their back and curl into a ball and roll over their enemy.

Light attack:

use the girl fight method (waving their arms in front of them, hitting the enemy randomly)

jump on the enemy, knocking the enemy down on their back

curl into a ball and collide with their enemy.

Range Attack:

Summon bamboo plant and make it grow up under the enemy, stabbing them or restrain them. (depending om witch kind of bamboo it summons)

Roar at the enemy, causing them to lose life and stun them

Climb trees and throw branches at them.

Escape moves:

Fast running/jumping allowing to escape the enemy and restore health. (can be combined with restrain or stun attacks), boosting the speed shortly if it curls into a ball.

Healing:

Eating bamboo would have a healing effect.

Using the cute unbalanced "stand on two legs"-dance when not in combat would have a healing effect.

Mass attack:

Spinning around in circles while using their tail to hit surrounding enemies. (this attack can also be used to disappearing from facing target to standing behind them) (can also be used on a single target)

Lifting their tail to make a toxic gas attack from their behind (can also be used on a single target)

Well, assuming the Giant Boss were to be encountered outside of an instance and in it's original form (not a humanoid Red Panda), the skills would be something along the lines of:


Swat: Base melee attack swiping either claw with a cleave effect. May also include a frequent Bleeding condition that stacks in intensity for tank swapping.


Smear: After a standing erect animation with enough time to retreat, the boss falls forward with such velocity that it creates a shockwave in a frontal-cone area of effect. May also include an instantaneous death to any target stuck under initial impact.


Shriek: A point-blank area of effect ability that deals no damage but causes the Fear condition. May also include the Vulnerability condition or cause a reset to threat, becoming aggressive against a random target immediately after animation.


Stamp: A reckless, heedless trampling rush that deals Physical damage and causes Knockdown to all enemies in its path.


Steam: An enrage effect that activates upon reaching 20% granting Fury and Might.

A Red Panda boss huh...

1. Claws (Auto Attack)
2. Summon the Horde of Adorableness!! (summons tons and tons of mini adorable red pandas that latch on to players and deal DoT damage.)
3. Kick sand. (Kicks sand or dirt into a random players face, stunning them for x seconds.)
3a. Throw rock. (The panda will throw a rock at the person who is stunned, and the damage is spread between all who are hit. group has to stack up on the stunned player or the player will be one shot.)
4. Lazy. (Channeled power that restores the pandas hp, broken when x amount of dmg is applied)
5. No love rage. (When the panda is feeling hated, he will go into a rage increases dmg by x%, all players have to /hug the panda to calm him down and remind him he is freakn' adorable.

Best I could do... Red panda boss would be legit.

it would totally have a bamboo staff, charge roll, a "playful" flurry or combo, an enrage, and a move to quickly eat bamboo stalk to recover health DDD

The Red Panda would have no skills. You cannot fight the Red Panda. You can only lose against the Red Panda.
