That's actually a really neat idea. Give it some GLDEFS and I think it's good to go. Unless it *needs* new sprites, Maybe some "rising" sprites? Perhaps igniting itself as it rises out of the ground.

Any news on this? Are there issues I should address?

It'd still need to have a vignette picture for the repository. Something that shows it emerging from the ground I guess.

How about something like this?

I guess it'd work.

I already have many ideas on how to use this. good job.

I like this idea. Having the flames extinguished while it's buried, and then igniting after it unearths itself fully. Maybe with a "poof" sound effect and a puff of smoke or something.

Any news on getting the GLDefs from the stock Lost Soul copied over? IMO, that's the only thing holding this back (igniting itself as it comes out of the ground would be cool, but is non-essential).

I like it.

I copied over the Lost Soul's GLDefs, just to test it out, and it works alright. I did have to change the Spawn state sprites (in the Decorate file) to TNT1 in order to prevent the lighting from showing up while it's in the ground. Not 100% sure if there is a way do that that within GLDefs itself.
