Chapter Concept: The Grinch

As BH added the watssssuuuuppp ghostface mask and with the arrival of a horror grinch movie i dont see any reason why he cant be added. But I might make a second concept as im still conflicted with it, but in my mind this is a very Grinch power except the second one though???

Name: The GRINCH

TR: 24m

Speed: 4.4m/s

height: tall


Power: Blast Christmas

Special Ability one: Not what you wanted?

The Grinch drastically alters the trail, like mount ormond all maps are snowy with the dark mist replaced by a blizzard of snow. scattred in the trail are 10 presents, Hold the active ability button for 2 seconds to activate not what you wanted?. All presents become active and emit a faint ticking sound to survivors, the aura of presents are then shown to the Grinch where he can then pick them up, he can carry two at a time presents spawn in threes and twos. All presents have a timer from which they hit zero they explode removing a health state and giving the jolly status effect to survivors. The Grinch can choose to plant or roll a present (like a bowling ball) this attack has an angle line which can be altred to go around corners. Also in the trail of seven trees highlighted in a white aura for survivors no matter what, the Grinch cant see tree auras until he has two presents. If a survivor finds an active present they can pick it up and place it by a tree, however if they have a present when it explodes they are put into the dying state. putting a present under a tree deactivates it but if the Grinch does it he can destroy the tree where he gains additional effects for the remainder of the trail, rolling a present also destroys it.

(presents give a loud noise notification when exploding)

Jolly status effect-You sing and laugh with glee occationally.

Special Ability Two: Winter Wonderland

This ability is both passive an activatable.

Trees in the trail limit your power destroying them extends it.

Hold the secondary active ability button to activate winter wonderland. The blizzard in the trail grows in power becoming thicker and bigger, the Grinch can upgrade his blizzard when destroying trees but the active ability button must reset and be reactivated before doing so.

1 trees-The Blizzard makes a soft patch of snow which makes survivors scratch marks last longer and make them closer together.

2 trees-while chasing a survivor your fov is increased by 8 degrees.

3 trees-survivors have a 0.5 second delay when dropping pallets.

4 trees-presents will respawn within 2 meters of generators.

5 trees-enterring a locker at any point will make you unable to leave it for three seconds

6 trees-Vault locations within 10 meters of the destroyed tree become blocked by the entity

7 trees-Pallets remain stuck in place
