Oooh, that slingbow! It looks like that star shape at the back could be for plugging something into… maybe? [/quote]

I think it’s purely aesthetic - and to keep with the common theme that all ranged attacks/attackers are identified by that glyph:

@gerryjacobs

Very, very subtly, our Ranged creatures have some visual elements of our weaponry and ammo designed within their tiers of progression. The ammo for the Slingbow is now a ‘star’ shape in general design and that shape is shared as part of our Ranged creatures concepts as another part of their identity.

@gerryjacobs

If you go through the creatures shown so far, you can find that star shape on the Tail of the tier 5 Spitter, in the Iris of the Cuttletrunk and on the face of both Stone Throwers!

It’s a neat touch
