Werewolves

Feature Info

Author(s): StarlightHowls

Status: In Development

Concept

What if there was a big dog..... think about it

Roundstart conversion antag with aspects of zombie and ling.

Small amount of starting werewolves per round.
Werewolves have to transform regularly with an action (polymorph) if they don’t a timer counts down until they are forced to do so.
Transforming plays a global howl noise.
While in wolf form werewolves have a special Maul action.
In order to turn back from wolf form you have to use a Maul action on a crit crew player entity, which has a % chance of infecting them too.
Maul may also just kill a player, those revived after mauling have a debuff or special examine text maybe?
If you stay in wolf form and don’t Maul another player the playermind will be kicked from the body (golden mask style) and left as a large agro radius mob hostile to all creatures.
Or maybe just die idk.

wolf form details

other stuff

Maybe have some kind of special parallax with a moon for werewolf rounds? This and the howl when transforming would give meta knowledge though.
Wolfsbane plant only found on expeds can cure werewolves?
Silver bullets knives added for the sec lathe that do extra wolf damage. (Maybe burn non transformed wolves?)
Pack howl that lets wolves talk to each other from far away but all players get an audio alert.

Similar to ling in the suspense/ horror element but with the conversion aspect slowly taking over the crew.
Knowing someone was bit but you don’t know if they’re gonna turn oooooo
No inoculate all crew 20m in zombie like rounds.

Players choosing to be pacifist/ finding workarounds like the old ling salv corpse issue.
Specifically turning only friends or robust players to meta game a pack.
Crew using the signs to get ready and gear up to fight wolves before they’ve even revealed themselves.

Current issues.
