Pandora's Box Races

Description
Ever wonder why Pandora's Box changes the death, dash and beam-in animations to not be humanoid? As it turns out those changes were made to suit a pair of playable races that for whatever reason were simply never fully implemented into the mod despite being virtually feature complete and fully functional. To that end I decided to make this addon considering that no one else seemed to have noticed/done anything about it.

The new races are as follows:
  • The Penguins:
    You know these guys, the cheeky little flightless birds associated with scum and villainy across the stars. They're basically a lite version of Penguin Piracy's Penguins, for those who don't want all the bells and whistles so to speak and just want the basics. It does mean however that they don't have any truly unique content to them this time, beyond their ship unlocking a new ship locker with every upgrade.
  • The Sheye:
    A mysterious race of enigmatic origin who resemble the Shyguys of the Mario franchise. They seem to be connected to the Pandora Box and its associated constructs, not to mention having an ethos of raising and nurturing monsters with their advanced technology.

As a bonus, I've made it so that a certain codex can now be obtained as a drop from a certain mini-boss the Pandora Box can spawn in.

Shoutout to schneck for making a BYOS patch for these races!

@ℱℴჯ ιȵ tℎℯ ℬℴx Hmm, not really keen on making a compatibility patch myself if I'm going to be honest, this addon is already made for a mod I don't use myself, so I'm not really inclined to make a patch for it either
@Armok I will hope and wait if you decide to make a compatibility patch. Thank you!

@ℱℴჯ ιȵ tℎℯ ℬℴx I'll admit I made no consideration of FU when I made this addon, since honestly I don't really care much for FU. I'll consider it though
Doesn't work well with Fu, no statistics. Crashes when dying in hardcore mode, breaks the ship if you choose non-standard ships. I hope it will be updated for compatibility in the future.

@MegaMato [s]Puntable size[/s] I mean, you should be giving your love to Elsen Rykker as he's the one who actually made them lol
