The Alchemist (redesigned from my first design of them)
A small slugcat that uses the food they eat to create mucus that can be smeared on a spear. It can then use that spear to paralyse, poison, or even burn enemies.
- It can't hold a spear with one hand, and so resorts to using both or holding it in their mouths. That's ok though because they don't like fighting, they'd rather be defensive.
- As it crawls its spines go up. Like a stonefish, if something steps on it, it gets a ton of the liquid concoction inside of the slugcat. Rolling has a similar attack
- Weak baby, basically dies instantly to any bites. However, it delivers a final terrible taste to any predator and basically just acid bombs in their mouth.
- An iterator named them "Stick" and tried to give it anxiety therapy, it ended up sweating the acid in panic. (Old design/doodles below)
she was born for my need to have more inventory and i didn't really want her to have a bag or to be a purpose being so she's gotta pouch and cheek storage. also she more or less a combination of Hunter and Gourmand. as much as i love Gourmand i don't like how slow he is. i could say the same about Hunter but instead of her stats i'm just terrible at the game so i've never gotten past sky island in my Hunter runs.
while she is a combination of them she also doesn't have some of their abilities like Hunter's back spear or the fact Gourmand's ability to spite out random stuff his gut if he has nothing in his gut. but she does have the ability to store things in her cheeks and spit them at enemies like a projectile. is this balanced out? i have no idea.
Pocket is fully grown just a runt and maybe a little stunted. She a curious lil scug who likes to hoard things occasionally. There times where she wander a little too far from her colony and she often has to travel and track down her colony, if they are migrating, by herself thus she quite self sufficient despite her size.
