Spider killer Idea / Power suggestion
A general power / addon idea set that could probably be reused in other things outside of this.
The main thing I want to discuss is the idea of the power, which something similar might be possible with other themes. I personally couldnt think of any good perks that weren't repeats of already existing ones in some way, I welcome you to craft your own.
Rest in peace arachnophobia gamers though.
Description and Lore
The Librarian is a large spider that stands just shorter than most survivors; A discoloration on their abdomen is in the vague shape of the Auris , and faded golden bands give further definition to the creatures shape.
Her day to day was attending to the archives arranging an never ending stream of stories and tomes from many worlds into its shelves. Occasionally a lost figure would discover the tower, but none stayed long. That is until one day, a man arrived with a strange device.
Killer power: Weaver's Lunge
The power starts with 3 tokens, and regain a new token every 4 seconds the power is not held and you are on the ground.
Hold down the primary power button to charge the lunge; causing a target reticle to form on a surface then release to lunge in that direction and consume a token.
When colliding with a wall, you will hang off the wall until either the power runs out in 15 seconds or you perform a second lunge. You leave a thick rope of webbing between your initial location and the wall you jumped to. The web lingers until destroyed or until it decays after 25 seconds.
Lunging from a wall into a pallet destroys it, and into survivors does a health state.
You may then perform a second lunge that can hit Survivors, Pallets, Walls (if there is more than one remaining token), or floor location; Leaving another trail of webs if you hit a floor or wall.
If a survivor runs into a web, they receive the Hindered status effect for 4 seconds and are revealed by Killer Instinct. The web then is destroyed.
Weaver's Lunge Addons (I didnt know what to name any of the addons, if anyone has further ideas feel free)
- (Iridescent) Caps max power tokens to 2. Wall hanging no longer times out. Gain the Undetectable Status while on a wall.
- (Iridescent) Lunges no longer injure survivors. Webs now injure Survivors. +100% blood points in the Deviousness Category)

The Mori
So hang with me here, as I attempt to explain a hopefully simple concept.
The camera views the survivor from a side-angle, as they roll around onto their back and fog rolls in.
The camera pans to go behind the survivors head and face into the fog; as the Librarian leaps from the fog and sinks their fangs (Chelicerae) into the survivors breast bone before quickly dragging them into the encroaching fog. The survivor would make one last attempt to grasp onto the ground behind them as they disappear.
After the mori plays the fog quickly dissipates and the survivors body is nowhere to be found.
Additional ideas
- Maybe the Archives Tower as a map, with the edges giving way into "space" like Garden of Joy. Would be a large library or tower of babel like map.
- Observer as survivor? Probably not, would be cool though.
- The faded symbol on the back of the spider could be from a burn, after having contacted with the Auris. It could be coincidence. Or maybe the Auris came with the tower and not the stranger.
