Martian Fighting Machine

Summary
The Tripod is the backbone of the Martian forces and staple invader for much of the conflict during the War of the Worlds. The Tripod’s main purpose id for scouting and scavenging, but often used in defence and assaults as well due its strong armour and deadly armaments. It’s stated that the mere sight of their distant silhouettes is enough to make any hardened soldier nervous. While certainly not indestructible, their tough armour and powerful Heat ray prevent an easy assault against them while the black smoke clears of any surviving remnants. The Tripod was initially added in Alpha 0.6.0 as the third mob, just after the Flying Machine and Looter. This large Martian towers above almost any other mob in the game, at 1.5x it's model scale it is the largest mob in the WOTWMod.

Health
With the largest health of any Martian Machine, the Tripod has 200 HP. This is the exact equivalent to the health of vanilla Minecraft's Ender Dragon.

Attack
The Fighting Machine uses ray beams from its heat ray as the main form of attack. The heat ray is powerful enough to cause a mini explosion upon hitting the player and the surrounding area.

Loot
Upon death, like all other Martians, the Tripod will drop Martian Scrap and it's own reward token. They also have a chance of dropping a random strength Transmogrification Crystal.
