New Killer Idea: The Pygmy
New Killer: The Pygmy
Name: Megawa
Story: Born in the Flores Indonesian jungle, Megawa grew up in a very poor village, death and starvation were common. Megawa was the only child of 7 to live into adulthood although not without complications. Megawa was a pygmy and constantly ridiculed for it. He was one of the smallest hunters ever but he was abnormally strong and fast, this caused jealousy among the hunting circle. One day on a hunt the others thought they'd play a prank on him and lead him down a path into quicksand, Megawa cried out but no one helped him. As Megawa sunk a thick fog enveloped the rainforest, when Megawa drown in the quicksand the whispers filled the forest. The next day all of the hunters were found dead in their beds, lungs filled with sand. The entire village perished without the hunters.

Brutal! This character sounds fairly simple to play, but devasting without being overpowered. I think it would be cool if the spear could be thrown, perhaps this could be exchanged with the lunge...or both could be there! A smaller, weaker character with speed and range on its side sounds like a fun play style! I love it!

Thanks, I did think of having range but I wanted it to be a little bit more unique. I thought about having bamboo poison dart blower that applied the poison too. Maybe have a crouch like pigs that allows you to use the dart instead of spear so when you sneak up on someone you can stack poison fast.
Cheers @TheNamedStranger
