I never thought about the garbage toss one, now he goes full on mermaid, also, thanks for adding the dynamic light one first xd, it's better for multiplayer And the rest of them are hella crazy, in the best way possible, you managed to make one of the most useless aliens on the prototype pack into the most broken(at least underwater, which is a great way of balancing it)
I was meant to rename Garbage Toss to something else because that's one of Four Arms' abilities in Protector of Earth but it's probably fine as-is. I just wanted some kind of grab because I wanted every common ability in the datapack to be somewhat represented underwater. The dyanmic lighting is one that was way easier to do in 1.19.4 than earlier versions so is part of the reason for the delay. It did also take some work to reduce the lag but I did get it to a point where it's barely noticeable, only reducing the FPS by about 5%. Ripjaws is the only OS alien that can actually breathe underwater and the only one up until Walkatrout to primarily be in water so I needed to make sure he was good in the water.
The pickaxe and shovel are mechanical ways to mimic the increasing strength of his bites. The dash one was more meant to mimic spinning to build up speed while dashing but there was no way for me to move the model like that. I did realise it was more powerful than first intended which is why it's level 8.
The only way I think it could work is by making it swim in circles, but forward, the problems being that 1. It might look really weird 2. That would require to change the model so the tail would be separated in pieces to articulate
The models are very outdated. This is straight from the first release of the first datapack from the start of 2020 and I just haven't got any better at modelling since then so I've never got around to redoing them. I'm 80% certain Gillygogs is not dead and the 3rd remodel was at some point confirmed to be Four Arms but there is no ETA.

I imagine the dash and the pickaxe and shovel ones being also like a bite, like the dash one he goes full on Pac-Man

this was worth the wait
The datapack is very good
Bro, is Gillygogs just dead? No offense to you, but these models look really outdated it would be cool to have new ones.

dont listen to the reply from will, gillygogs did actually pass away. he got in a car accident a couple of months ago and sadly didn't make it
this was not worth the wait
