Making Legion that fits their advertisement using existing asset

Legion was advertised as a group of people that can mask their identity as killers. Meanwhile, Feral Frenzy just kind of comes out of nowhere. So I think FF should be scratched and Legion should be made from the ground up. Fortunately, we can take the basic mechanic of Hag's teleport and Pig's crouch, with some modifications, to make a 'hag-pig hybrid' Legion that fits their advertisement.

The basic idea is:
1. 4 Legion will spawn in separate locations in the map; only 1 is controllable at any time. While not being controlled, the satellites will stand still. The satellites have no terror radius and will give a warning (like a crow notification) when a survivor gets inside their warning radius.
2. Legion can see the aura of their satellites and can teleport to a satellite location.
3. After teleporting, the previously controlled Legion will become a satellite, while the newly controlled Legion will enter a mask off state. While in mask off, they walk slower, their terror radius is hidden, and their normal attack will change to lunge attack.
4. After the lunge attack, the controlled Legion will become a regular 115% killer until they teleport again. Alternatively, the controlled Legion can just put their mask on (similar to Pig's uncrouch) to get out of mask off state.

The satellites should have idle animations that doesn't make it too obvious they're a satellite (maybe pacing around without actually moving from an area?), and they don't wear their mask. The controlled Legion also doesn't wear a mask while in mask off (duh). They'll put on their mask just before a lunge attack or when they get out of mask off state w/o lunge.

    Can you give a faster way to put the mask back on? Like just using ctrl

    That can happen. I imagine it'll be like Pig's uncrouch.

    Edit: actually I'll just add it to the op.
