TROLL SLUGCAT AU IDEAS

Aradia Megido: can float slowly with a held button, much higher chance to resist death bites.

Tavros Nitram: definitely like monk where everything is more docile- to make this an ability it will work on even red lizards with a buttonpress. i think his campaign would be really hard mode to show that off (like how outskirts is in arti and spearmy with the two redzards except the whole everywhere)

Sollux Captor: any grappled or grappling creature gets zapped. he can also doublejump by psychically grabbing and then sending himself in a direction.

Karkat Vantas: starts with negative 40 rep for everything and work yourself up to everybody giving you kisses and gifts?

Nepeta Leijon: she has maul, without stunning first. and is a carnivore. start the game with Pounce tamed and following you and get them to somewhere else.

Kanaya Maryam: carnivore? or maybe she has a feeding mechanic like spearmy.

Terezi Pyrope: carnivore, unique food pip system with different colors. has to get some food of like half or more the colors per cycle.

Vriska Serket: unique game mode where you kill things and toss them in a hole. otherwise, she can proc her ult and make everything on a screen fall asleep.

Equius Zahhak: 4 damage spears but he can only carry them for 6 seconds before they break. rolls deflect spears like gourmy. he's an obligate vegetarian.

Gamzee Makara: harvest potions from creatures for gameplay effects

Eridan Ampora: water breathing and affinity with sea critters. landbeasts want him dead very bad. obligate carnivore with huge amount of pips- has to kill a lot of animals.

Feferi Peixes: leviathans are actively friendly with her. water breathing. omnivore but eating squidcadas makes her shake and cry

lmk if you have any other ideas :)
