La famille - family of french rats that live in a trenchcoat (old concept sketch i forgot to post on here)

old sketch concept that i forgot to post here.

Family of french immigrant rats that came from a bourgeois pet rat that survived the french revolution (i found the idea of a pet rat being executed funny).

While the kit isnt concrete i really wanted this balance of being able to build the kit in a variety of ways similar to ivy and viscous. i dont think there's really a character as of now that can build as tank AND support so la famille was my answer to that.

I really hope the entire of a character that can become a swarm (and thus run the risk of spreading a hitbox too large to create value) is something you explore.
===

tried a different design but it didnt really work for me imo though i did like the 3 rats that talk being visible. plus from a marketing standpoint this is a design that is a "unique non human cast member", "lore exploration", and a "cute" character that can tick multiple boxes of community want.

idk just please explore rats in a trench coat lol

also this a different thing but i found the idea of them thinking they can play the patrons and get a wish for all of them and then ending up with the patrons only giving them the one wish or only wishes for the talking ones.

what if it was "la famiglia" and it was italian mafia rats

always love the things in a trenchcoat trope

wish i could give more feedback on the kit since it reads to me as interesting but i cant read cursive that well lmao
visually, i just love the design, especially if the three rats at the head would have different visual characteristics that'd set them apart (i.e a scar on one of their eyes, a small tooth on the other, etc) would make it perfect
maybe they could all be connected by one big rat king circle in the middle, and instead of shooting their head for more damage, you'd shoot the exposed tied tails in the middle?
