Summary0005177: Desert Burrowers look silly when falling
DescriptionBurrowers are supposed to be underground with the dust showing their location, right? Well, when they fall off a platform there's no body to them, just a dust trail appearing in mid air. Since you probably don't want to render them you should probably make them turn around if they hit a ledge and there's no ground within three tiles down of that ledge (i.e. it's not a ledge they could jump up if they would run into it from the other side).

This enemy was implemented when the game were still in top-down perspective, then it looked okay (a bit like the sand worms in Dune). Now with the side view, they just look weird. This is just a minor visual annoyance, but I think their visual style should change before 1.0. The graphics could still be kept as the graphic for some air magic based spell or enemy.

On another note, it also seems wrong to have these appear inside buildings.

Alternatively, just have the burrowers 'burrow' up/down walls rather than having them fall.

I always thought they were earth espers - while bringing this up.. why not floating rocks?
