With the release of the Watcher 1.5 one of the things I was most excited about was the new creatures. Potential to see more creatures infected with the rot, only to be disappointed that only the three that had it before was all that was in (Not counting every lizard separately).

So to take matters into my own hands, I’ve made my own.

On the left is the Infected variant. The rot has yet to fully take over the scavenger’s body. Although cysts are very apparent. It’s still considered apart of packs by scavengers, and it treats them the same way. Although they’re always extremely hostile towards any other creature. Like the rot infested lizards, “killing” them has a chance to revive them, causing them to become Scavenger Long Legs.

On the right is a scavenger long legs, the rot having taken full control. Tendrils fully sprouting from the body. Scavengers do not consider them a part of their pack, nor the other way around. The rot retains some knowledge of using tools such as spears, grenades, rocks, and other objects. They will attempt to throw them at other creatures. Another thing they retain is the scavengers love for pearls, if they find a creature that has one they will hunt it down. This could be used to distract them.
