Extremely classic horror theme: people suddenly being dragged into the dark. I'd personally be more interested in a sort of "reverse shadowhound pounce" where you just YEET that crewman standing in the doorway inside.
You can also add more blood flying everywhere if someone is getting devoured.
Also if horror form had some grapple hook ability to slowly reel in someone I would be a happy spaceman. Imagine hearing someone scream LING! and then they get dragged away before you can even respond
But changelings also just got a really nice sting mixup and they're doing pretty well with what they have. I would -absolutely- in a dream, scope creep enjoying world say it would be nice to see the same kind of "specialisation" wraiths have for lings. Mutating down different paths: Becoming better/faster at shifting into other forms, even those you don't have, embracing true alienism and abandoning disguise for being just a straight up monster pulling those snatch-and-grabs and fleshing around like Varshie's 'orrible thing, maybe some kind of third option were your hive buddies get a buff and are a bit more capable and your stings can be shot remotely.
But that's also like going "Yeah is someone cool completely remaking the changeling class?" and they point fingers and go "WYCI" and go "Ideas guy ideas guy" in a singsong tone.
Where was I? Yeah cool ideas in general, I feel like original suggestions by Mysterious are all reasonable in terms of effort even if I personally disagree about the button one, and the hook thing for shambler isn't too crazy.
