Able to get by easily, you will try to sneak as you traverse this hostile world. But beware, you must fight, and nobody likes a straggler... OVERVIEW--------------------------------------------------------- The Straggler is a brown colored slugcat who kinda looks like the name suggests. You have the same base food requirement as Survivor. When force hibernating, the only downside is you have to eat more next cycle (you lose some of your ability to store extra) and your spear damage is slightly reduced. (only for that cycle) SLUGPUPS--------------------------------------------------------- One of the couple changes made to the Straggler is the affects of slugpups. Slugpups will not follow you around unless you give them food. as you give them food they become more trusting towards you, eventually following you after 6 food pips given. Once given 18 more food pips, slugpups will fight to protect you more. Slugpups are also more common. When sleeping in a shelter with 3 fully fed slugpups, you get reinforced karma. Once you reach 3 slugpups, you lose a karma when one dies. this goes away below 3 slugpups. DIET MECHANIC--------------------------------------------------- As the straggler, you get the same amount of food from stuff as Gourmand. This also affects your diet. Your diet is the main mechanic of the Straggler. You have to even out how many food pips come from meat versus how many food pips come from something else. (any creatures that survivor can still eat despite not having the hunter carnivorious thing) When your diet is unbalanced, you have to fill slightly more of your food bar to hibernate. Additionally, when your diet is unbalanced not in favor of meat you deal slightly less spear damage. AGGRESSION------------------------------------------------------ Another main mechanic of the Straggler is creature aggression. All creatures are extremely aggresive. Lizards are untamable, and instead temporarily have less aggression towards you when fed. The effectivity of this and it's duration depends on the kind of lizard. Here is a table: color / aggresion multiplier / duration multiplier green / 0.4 / 1.6 pink / 0.3 / 2 white / 0 / 0.2 cyan / 0.5 / 1 yellow / 0.5 / 3 (does not affect whole pack) black / 0.1 / 1.2 brown / 0.4 / 0.7 (slightly affects pack) BROWN LIZARD--------------------------------------------------- When playing the straggler, a new lizard can be found. The brown lizard is quite like a fusion of a black lizard, a white lizard, and a yellow lizard. It's sight, speed and HP are just averaged between those three. (black excluded from sight, lol) It's hearing is very good- not much worse than that of a black lizard. Like the yellow lizard, it hunts in packs and knows the position of others in it's pack. However, unlike the yellow lizard, others only know where it is. They cannot communicate anything else. Like the white lizard, it can slightly change color to blend in. However, it only changes color half as much as a white lizard and fully reveals itself while chasing prey. Brown lizards can be found in Subterranean, Sky Islands, and occasionally in Garbage Wastes and Shaded Citadel. After bringing the dead body of a brown lizard, a white lizard, a black lizard, and a yellow lizard to Moon, she will tell you that the brown lizard seems to be an iterator-made fusion of the two, likely created for a purpose rather than just being an experiment. (the lore explanation for brown lizards not appearing on Rivulet/Saint is that they went extinct, likely due to being frequently attacked by other lizards.) CAMPAIGN----------------------------------------------------------- The Straggler's campaign is the same as Survivor or Monk. However, they take place slightly after the stories of them. Cycles are slightly shorter, and the inside of Five Pebbles has become slightly more dangerous. Another change is that yellow, cyan, and salamander lizards became more common and began to appear farther from their normal homes and earlier in the game. King vultures occasionally spawn. Red centipedes can be found in Shaded Citadel and rarely in Outskirts and Farm Arrays. Comment if you have any questions! (serious or not!) the arena unlock for brown lizor is in a hard to reach spot near the underhang (idk) the goober: 25;-100;70;1;84;22;1;50;-63;1;28;-63;5;154;-77;1;100;-24;4;186;0;3;0;0;~ (the save code) https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/848195267
