Killer Idea: Dren from Splice?

Anyone remember Dren? The animal/human hybrid from Splice? Maybe they should put her/him into this game. Dren starts the trial female, but as the trial prolongs she eventually mutates into her male form. Becoming OP. So the strategy is to get out as fast as possible before Dren takes its final form.

Other than that Dren starts off attempting to sting you with her tail mid ranged. Her stinger poisons you, causing you to lose a health state slowly over time. The more she stings you the faster the buildup. When she develops her wings she can then perform a flying lunge to bite you, much like a Demo lunge. Her male form combines all these powers, and makes them stronger. The tail has more reach, and the flying lunge breaks through walls/pallets.

    Never watched Splice, is it good?

    It’s not amazing, but it’s definitely bizarre. Like jaw dropping bizarre. Some of the stuff that happens in that move… Hahaha!! I would suggest watching it as to not spoil anything. 😭

    You'd like to expand upon your idea.


    The Creature

    Movement Speed — 110%

    Terror Radius: 24 Meters

    Height: Short


    Power: Hybrid Lethality

    Having a variety of tools at its disposal, The Creature can quickly surprise survivors.

    Special Attack: Lethal Pounce

    Create a path by holding the ability button, then release it to finish the path. When at either endpoint of the path, press the ability button to dash across the path at high speeds until you reach the other endpoint.

    • Colliding with a healthy survivor will damage them for a single health state.
    • Colliding with an injured survivor will apply deep wounds.
    • Colliding with a deep wound survivor put them into the dying state.
    • Colliding with a dropped pallet will destroy it.
    • Colliding with nothing will cause a short fatigue.

    After using the path, it will automatically be removed. Only 3 paths can exist on the map, creating more than the maximum amount of paths will overwrite the earliest one.


    Special Ability: Lethal Flight

    Press the ability button to spread your wings and take flight in the air, completely disappearing. While The Creature is in the air, you will be able to move as if you were still on the ground, but you cannot perform any actions until it lands. Pressing the active ability button will cause The Creature to land wherever you're positioned at after a short delay and audible warning.

    • Landing on a survivor will immediately put them into the dying state.

    Cool-down of 75 seconds after landing.


    Special Passive: Lethal Intelligence

    Attacking survivors with either your basic attack [1 Point] or Lethal Pounce [2 Points] will increase The Creature's Intelligence:

    • 3 Points: Decreases Lethal Flight cool-down by 10 seconds.
    • 6 Points: Decreases Lethal Flight cool-down by 15 seconds and increases maximum amount of paths from Lethal Pounce by 1.
    • 9 Points: Survivors deep wounded by Lethal Pounce will have their bleed-out timer uncontrollably deplete.
    • 12 Points: Lethal Pounce can no longer be interrupted by dropped pallets.

    YES! I like all of this, but don’t you think Dren would fit though? She’s very creepy/bizarre, and the way she rapidly evolves would fit into the game’s mechanics. Nemesis is an example of a power becoming stronger once specifications are met. So this wouldn’t be difficult with her/him/it.

    We could have skins to change the gender or appearance, that would be cool! 😁
