Crabhead
A vile creature that escaped from the experimentation chambers of black mesa some lab.
An infiltration/pscyhology character that exploits boxfarmers.
Inspired by Half-Life 3.​

1# Snark
A creature-like-grenade that you throw out and it automatically starts attacking nearby enemies, prioritizing heroes.
Explodes on enemy after 3rd successfull jump attack.
Drops 10 souls if killed, they are very easy to kill.
Very important: Each upgrade grants an extra charge of Snark. (The numbers is the fun part of Snarks)

If you don't know what a Snark is, here's the half-life reference.

2# Sticky Slime
Shoots out slime in a line.
The slime is a debuff that prevents the enemy from jumping/leaving ground and slows by 15% for a duration of 3s.
Visual footnote, idea for ability icon


3# Inhabit
You inject yourself into a friendly hero, candle minion, crate, box or tower - your hero is hidden as that thing.
If said host takes 18% of their max hp as damage you are ejected and stunned briefly. (So no easy escapes like Lifestealer in DOTA)
You can eject yourself from the host at will.
In the case of a crate/box, just destroying it stuns you.
Inhabiting a candle minion lets you control the candle minion, but you can let it default to pathfinding at any point.
-Candle minions are useful for masking your footsteps into enemy territory
-You basically want to camp as a crate and wait for boxfarmers before facehugging them.


4# Facehug
Lunge towards a direction, if you hit a hero you sit on it for 3 seconds.
This disarms the prey, deals damage and leeches some of the life back to you.
The host cannot harm or target you with skills.
You are also disarmed, but may cast snarks during facehug or sticky slime on opponents.
