Arthropod boss mob, to make Bane of Arthropods enchant useful

Bane of Arthropods is currently the least useful weapon enchantment as it covers only a small niche of enemies that are mostly weak. If there is going to be a new boss mob, or more hostile mob additions, make arthropod enemies such as Scorpion enemies unique to desert/badlands, or an arthropod boss mob in the End dimension.

    Great idea, especially with needing a proper use for the BoA enchantment. It's almost like the other 2 have something specific to use it against (i.e Sharpness against The Ender Dragon and Smite against The Wither). A Spider/Arthropod boss would add something new and exciting. Some ideas for spawning:
    Spawnable similar to The Wither, placing certain items/blocka in a certain way (maybe add spider heads?). Or generates in a rare structure.. maybe a lair that generates underground or in a certain biome. There could be eggs that randomly break/hatch spawning more smaller versions of the boss to attack you (each egg could spawn a random amount, e.g 1-5)

    I agree, there should be more arthropods in the game, especially ones with a decent amount of health. Spiders do not warrant the use of BoA because of their lack of health. All other arthropods have even less health than spiders too. I also think that a solution could be to add an arthropod boss and/or more hostile arthropods (scorpions, moths, tarantulas, etc). As far as boss mechanics go, I agree with the other comment. Smaller spiders hatching from eggs, giving the poison effect when attacking, shooting spider webs to hinder the player. Many possibilities.

    I think this a really great idea, especially a new strong arthropods mob or boss in badland if they want to update the biome in the future (mantis, huge scorpion, giant centipede, locust that destroys/eats your crops, scary big ancient insects egg from  suspicious sand)
