Alright, gather round, scugs, pups, and scavs. Let’s Rain those Worlds… or, something like that. You wanna play as a tiny little creature in a big world? Predator, yet prey? And, most of all, you wish to fear the rain, but this time in Minecraft? Go right ahead.<\/center><\/p>\n

## Yet Another Slugcat Origin…s
\nThis origin pack contains… eight, yet one origin. To select your experience, you must first select the Slugcat origin, then choose your sub-origin. These origins are each balanced differently, but all share the following traits.<\/p>\n

### Common Traits
\n– Slugcats move faster, jump faster, fall faster, and all can hold shift to charge up a pounce-jump. (This does not eliminate fall damage.)
\n– Slugcats are predators- they can use sticks as weapons, throwing them with plenty of force, and pinning enemies in place for a short while.
\n– Slugcats are prey- they do not feel safe enough to rest without a roof over their head, and must have a full enough belly to hibernate.
\n– Slugcats are small- they are at most just over a block and a quarter tall, letting them wriggle into small spaces, but not letting them run in small tunnels.
\n– Slugcats are fragile- they only have around 6 hearts.
\n– Slugcats are hungry- their active metabolism means they always want to eat something, even if they’re not doing anything in particular.
\n– Slugcats are crafty- despite their small size, they can almost always find a handhold, letting them scramble up a few blocks.
\n– Slugcats fear the crushing rain. Getting caught in the rain is a death sentence- if you cannot find shelter in time, you may find yourself suffocating. Fortunately, you’ll receive a warning that it’s about to rain, letting you dash to shelter… hopefully.
\n– Slugcats cannot deal with the cold that well, and will eventually freeze.<\/p>\n

Additionally, (almost) every variant has some additional traits to aid in their own survival.
\n### The Survivor
\n…I immediately prove myself wrong. The Survivor is the “standard” play mode, with no extra bells or whistles.<\/p>\n

### The Monk
\n– [+] The Monk takes less damage than any other slugcat.
\n– [+] The Monk does not require being full to hibernate.
\n– [+] The Monk is slightly stealthier than other slugcats.
\n– [-] The Monk is a vegetarian.
\n– [-] The Monk deals less damage with its spears than any other slugcat.<\/p>\n

### The Hunter
\n– [+] The Hunter deals more damage with its spears than the Survivor and Monk.
\n– [-] The Hunter is a carnivore.<\/p>\n

(Before you ask, yes, I do plan to revisit this and add a *little* more to this particular variant…)<\/p>\n

### The Gourmand
\n– [+] The Gourmand deals far more damage with its spears than any other slugcat.
\n– [+] While it has enough food in its stomach, the Gourmand can be very strong indeed.
\n– [+] The Gourmand can spit up items at the cost of some of its stomach contents.
\n– [+] The Gourmand can use its weight to deal damage in an area around itself when jumping from a higher elevation, eliminating fall damage.
\n– [-] The Gourmand is very, very hungry, and needs even more food in its stomach to sleep comfortably.
\n– [-] If it’s too hungry, the Gourmand is very tired; and very slow as a result.<\/p>\n

### The Artificer
\n– [+] The Artificer is immune to explosives, and Creepers ignore her.
\n– [+] The Artificer can blast herself forward and up while in the air.
\n– [+] The Artificer can craft TNT for cheap.
\n– [+] The Artificer’s spears blow up after a short delay.
\n– [+] The Artificer deals more damage with unarmed strikes.
\n– [+] The Artificer is slightly resistant to the cold.
\n– [=] The Artificer can blow herself up on command. This can destroy items.
\n– [-] The Artificer cannot hold her breath very well.
\n– [-] Villagers dislike her, and iron constructs automatically attack her.
\n– [-] The Artificer explodes upon dying, potentially destroying your dropped items.<\/p>\n

### The Rivulet
\n– [+] The Rivulet is *much* faster than even the other slugcats.
\n– [+] The Rivulet can hold its breath twice as long as normal players (accounts for Respiration!)
\n– [+] The Rivulet can jump quite high! (Toggleable.)
\n– [-] Any Rivulets on the world will cause there to be rain far more often than normal.
\nAdditionally, any player on the world can craft a certain item to enhance these abilities- for the Rivulet, or themselves.<\/p>\n

### The Spearmaster
\n– [+] The Spearmaster can generate spears from its tail. It can use these so-called needles to feed.
\n– [+] The Spearmaster is slightly slimmer and stealthier than other slugcats.
\n– [-] Unfortunately, it lacks a mouth to eat with- or drink with. The Spearmaster cannot consume normal foods, eat cake, drink potions, or drink milk.
\n– [-] Needles will decay over time, preventing you from using them to feed.<\/p>\n

### The Saint
\n– [+] The Saint has a long tongue that it can use to grapple onto blocks.
\n– [+] The Saint is far more resistant to the cold than its brethren.
\n– [+] There’s something more to this variant… Explore the world and meet the rippling Echos of the past.
\n– [-] The Saint is even more fragile than other slugcats, having only five hearts.
\n– [-] A pacifist at heart, you deal a full heart less damage, and cannot throw spears at all.<\/p>\n

### The Attuned
\n– You know exactly what this can do. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
