Desc.
A mechanical walking bug that fires a strange toxic subtances. That if contact with any organic body it will start to burn pretty fast. This is why is
called stink bug because of its powerful toxic gas.

I like the idea, image could probably look more mechanical? But anyway, I'm not that big of a fan of those stats, they are kinda just a copy from human chemical artillery. How about instead we have some more variety?

Cost: 4
Hp: 28
Armor physical/energy: 2/1
Attack: 2
Range and sight: 5
Minimal range: 2
Aoe: 1
Actions: 1
Speed: 1
Passive toxic weapons
Ability: Acid projectile, like on the mortar, but with 5 range

So it's very similar to the antlion artillery, but with no burrow ability. Instead, it has toxic weapons with 1 actions and aoe, as well as the acid projectile, making it somewhat useful against all kinds of units.

Perhaps this view is more acceptable. I tried to make it look mechanical, I had no idea about the toxic cannon so it's just a cannon. I could make him animate a moving acid, and it is also possible to draw a special projectile.

Hmm, we could use a new sprite cause the chemical rocket artillery one wont work here. Alternatively, I could use the standard artillery and use the post hit animation used on chemical artillery (the green splash). If you find that unsatisfactory, please do make a new sprite.

Do you mean the projectile? I think it will be one or several of them like missiles?

Yea the projectile. It should be one, like a tank shell.

?

I guess that works yea

This unit kinda needs a different name. Calling it a stink bug when it's mechanical sounds confusing, and honestly stink bug sounds very much not intimidating.

Venom Tank
Venom Crawler
Venom Spitter
Scorpion Tank
Toxin Artillery

Last 2 are out, basically already used. 1st one as well, this isn't a tank. Venom crawler seems good.
