Tale of Diep:Leaping Warmind

The Leaping Warmind is a Gladiator Boss that has a 5% chance to replace a Fallen Booster spawn. Created by ZathusTheMageV.

Backstory
The Leaping Warmind was your ordinary Battleship, that was, until the fateful day the Cult of Panzer came upon him. Yet, instead of malicious sacrificing or conversion, they delivered the Leaping Warmind's comatose body to Dr. Lacus, a nefarious evil scientist hired as a mercenary by the Cult of Panzer. He restructured the Battleship's body, and empowered him with new weapons of destruction. However; something went fatally wrong when it came to mind adjustment. A freak accident occurred and when it was all over they were not the same. For some reason, the Leaping Warmind thinks its a cat and loves to snuggle and pounce on to people for affection. That is, after all, how it got its name.

Design
The Leaping Warmind looks like a much more armored and intimidating Battleship, with Lancer spikes coming out between the Crasher spawners on each side. On the top and bottom of the tank are tiny trapezoids with the shorter side sticking out. A Smasher hexagon spins beneath all of this. However, to humorously counteract this intimidating look, it has a cat :3 face on it (except not sideways like that)

Attacks
Note: Take note that it is constantly releasing Crashers during all of these attacks.


 * Snuggle: Will suddenly dash at a nearby player in an attempt to cuddle with them. Little does the poor Leaping Warmind know that it will deal MASSIVE damage on touch. :(
 * Lacerate: Will begin shooting out Crashers 2x faster. Crashers spawned for up to 5 seconds after this ability is used will inflict Poisoned onto hit tanks.
 * Meow: Will play a meow sound effect, and all players will get weakened for 8 seconds, feeling pity.
 * Lick: The cat mouth thing will release a tongue that licks either left or right. Either way, tanks hit in the sweep will take minor damage and be Slowed.
 * Pounce: Will dash and use Snuggle three times in quick succession, followed by a purr sound.
 * Why Though?: Two giant Drones will come out of the trapezoids on the top and bottom, and begin spinning in a figure 8 pattern around the Leaping Warmind.
 * Lost Brilliance: A lightning bulb will appear above its head. Then, it will lick it with its tongue and eat it. The Leaping Warmind will flash green once and recover 500 health.
 * Takeout: Will charge forward without stopping for 3 seconds before running back in the exact same line to where it originally started. Deals 3x more damage than Snuggle, but will cause itself to take more damage as well to if it hits a player.
 * Symphony of Silence: Will release eight Crashers at a time, four from each side, which will begin relentlessly hunting down players. They have 40x as much health as usual. A second wave of eight will not spawn until all current eight are killed. Will summon between 1 and 5 waves. The Leaping Warmind is invincible while this attack is in use.

Trivia

 * It was originally just going to be that he was crazy, then I thought "Cats are cute. Sure, let's have him think he's that. Makes sense to have him pounce on people now,".
 * Leaping Warmind was what I originally thought the name of the boss "Weeping Prophet" was called in the game Trove. I was partially wrong. 'Leaping' and 'Weeping' sound similar, but I don't know how I got 'Warmind' from 'Prophet'. Ironically, lot's of stuff are related to Prophets in my Diep.io universe.
