Weaker inv pups that have a fraction chance of replacing a normal pup. Instead of the rarefaction grenade explosion it lets out a grenade explosive dealing 3 times the damage of the normal explosion

Useful as a last resort and quite a flex to find one

spearpups

carnivorous pups that are distant relatives of the spearmaster. they would have mouths, but no teeth, only letting them eat soft foods with their mouths (fruit, batflies, ect), since their diet is carnivorous, eating small morsels won't be enough for these pups. holding up and grab will let you summon a spear from their tail, and if thrown by the pup, will give them a full pip! spearpups also have the ability to summon spears on their own as well. aggressive towards literally everything until tamed, also extra light

Scavenger cub..

Have you ever wanted to see what a baby scavenger looks like? Me too. They're smart like scugs too, so what if we could raise them!

Gameplay ideas: Maybe they'd be true omnivores, this being based on the fact scavengers canonically hunt raindeer, (raindeer skulls at tolls), and actively hunt and kill yeeks ingame. Also based on the fact there's so many popcorn plants around scav territory, and they can be seen carrying some plants. They might use these plants for their practical uses, but seeing as we don't ever see scavs eat ingame, this is the best I can do in terms of canon info. Maybe has 4 food pips, with 3 to hibernate and 1 left over for the next cycle.

Maybe raises savenger reputation if you take good care of them (fully feed them in a cycle) or drop them off at a scav toll, while it lowers scav rep if you don't take good care of them, (aka starve them,) lose them to a predator, or kill them. Taking okay care of them (feeding them enough to hibernate but not fully feeding them) doesn't affect rep.

If a scavenger sees you with a scav cub, how they react changes based on your reputation. At high reputation they don't do anything, as you are a trusted figure. At neutral reputation, scavenger reactions depend on personality. They will typically attack you as you are less familiar to them, and they see you as a potential danger to this lost child, however if they have a more meek personality they might not do anything, asides from threaten you. They will also let up easier. At low reputation, pray, as they will try to kill you on sight, and will not let up very easily. This is their child you're kidnapping in their eyes, and you are dangerous and untrustworthy.

The way these pups behave when untamed would be based on your scav rep, if you have good scav rep they're tamed instantly on seeing you, as they are lost when found and see you as a trusted figure. If you have neutral scav rep, they'd behave as a normal slugpup would, being maybe even a little fearful of you until they're tamed. If you have low scav rep, they will actively run from you and taming them will take some convincing. Or you could just kidnap them, and shelter with them like a normal pup to instantly tame them.

Maybe they could be optionally untameable by arti? By optional I mean that by default she can't tame them, but you can toggle that option off to make her capable of taming them. Reputation raising obviously won't work for her regardless of how well she takes care of them, though, and it'd probably make her gameplay hellish without the reputation control mod or something. Might be fun though, having the extra challenge.

But that's just my two cents for gameplay, I would personally honestly be satisfied with just the scabs (scav cubs) existing to begin with if possible tbh. Thank you for reading :)

- camo pup

camo pups are white or either gray or black

- diet

these pups are herbivores and only eat fruits, if you try to give them meat like batflies or centipedes or noodleflies they will faint for a very long time including egg bug eggs, neuron flies, grubs, hazers, jellyfish, and fire eggs

- camo

if these pups are in danger they will camo to hide from predators and keeps their eyes closed like white lizards

- location

these pups can be found around outskirts, industrial, shaded citadel, bitter aarie, rubicon, looks to the moon (region) and rarely
the wall

- effect on players

if piggybacked anywhere they stand still will also camouflage to hide from pray like white lizards

- food

blue fruit, slime mold, popcorn plant, seeds, popped bubble, lilypucks, gooieduck, dandelion peach, and glow weed

- weakness

if they eat a neuron fly they still get neuron light and lose an ability to camouflage

spiders still see them camo

their food points will go down if they eat meat

they die if they starve for 2 cycles

- food pips

3, 1 for later
