I suggested the Storm Atronach, and I'd like to address a few points people have highlighted:
1. I was rather shortsighted in my research yes, I though Atronach was a generic term used by Bethesda, I was sure I'd heard it elsewhere. Mod Ash if you can check the emails to confirm it was me who sent in the suggestion (which at the bottom has my RL first name and IGN) then an updated name idea could be "Storm Titan" that would sound decent I think
2. People seem to think my idea has a monster that scales to level, this is not the case, merely if you're a lower level you can kill off the minions albeit at a slow pace since you're using a pickaxe. This should in theory save supplies, but slow the kill. The fast way involves ignoring the minions and taking more damage but killing the boss faster.
3. The idea behind the drops coming into the game are largely things that are in demand, but drops need on average to be of relatively good value as it is intended to be quite supply-heavy.
4. The drop list I included wasn't intended to be set in stone (though I think it is a suitable monster to drop a d pick since it is a creature made of stone).
5. The animation of rocks falling on your head would make a better ranged animation
thought of that when I did a barrows run earlier today
Mod Ash if you see my new name suggestion could you let me know? Also, if you can confirm it as my idea that also would help.
Cheers
Chris

why would a rock creature be called storm titan? makes no sense
Well I'm looking to avoid generic names, I'm a history student I'll dig up some of my classical Greek and Roman mythology and see if there's anything better out there
