Athena Pallas
As someone recently mentioned, warrior class doesn’t have a female skin and I decided to fix that in my Art Contest entry. Meet Athena Pallas, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war! She is brave, beautiful and leaves her enemies no chances:
Skin flavor text suggestion: "This goddess never fights without purpose but shines in battle if you make her fight!"

Lernaean Hydra
16x16 boss sprite suggestion: Lernaean Hydra, ancient Greek beast once defeated by Heracles. According to the old Greek legend, it was wise Athena who helped him to slay down the monster.
Originally my idea was to make more sprites for this boss (and I actually sketched some) because I had a concept for the boss battle which consisted of 6 boss apparations: 1 head, 2 heads, 3 heads, 4 heads, 5 heads, 6 heads. Boss could start with 2 or 3 heads and then cycle through these phases depending on how much damage it would take, and “grow” back heads if it wasn’t damaged at all for X seconds. Possible methods to make it harder to deal damage to this boss: immune to damage from pets/shoot stun and or/petrify. Finally, the boss could only die once all extra heads were cut off and only the last one left.
But since the goal of the contest is to draw boss’s concept, not design the boss battle, I decided to keep 5 sprites with three heads only.
