First thought was a queen that kills you by laying eggs on you, but stealing ideas is more fun.

The Wubblade

Most of the time it looks similar to a wubba (only it's pink, or polka dotted or something)

It runs away from you but stops at walls like wubbas/gel babies, etc. Brained = scared brained wraithwing (but stopping on walls etc)

Every so often it stops and defends itself by sticking out spikes in all 8 directions. These act just like blades - killing things, activating orbs, destroying crumbly walls etc.

Not sure which would be better, either regular spiking (eg every 10 turns) or spiking only when you (or a decoy) get near. I think the latter would be more interesting.

It is non required.

PP
==

A runaway monster with a different movement pattern.

A runaway monster that can activate bombs & break crumblies (I'd also say orbs, but we have pressure plates)

Another way of blocking Beethro from taking a path, but not other monsters. (Stick the wb on an arrow - if Beethro gets near the spikes block the path)

Blowing up a fuseless bomb safely (with no mimics?)

Beethro has to keep away from a certain area, or it'll spike Halph the hostage.

It could freeze aumtlichs with it's diagonal spikes maybe?

I would be in favour of having this deploy its spikes whenever a decoy/mimic/clone/player came within 5 squares of it, and block everything including briar growth.

Should it be invunerable like a wubba? Or would it be possible to kill it by leading a slayer over it (or should that trigger the defense mechanism to?) or dropping a mimic on it?

Need to go find all those old joke images and archive them on the site somewhere...

What if it was vulnerable, but spiked whenever a sword or hook was within 5 squares of it. So you could kill it by sword, but only by dropping a double on it. Or oremiting/disarm tokening it. Could add some interesting interactions, but they might be too complicated to use in a good way.
