An antag critter focused on traps could be fun. Like some sort of mini trickster wraith...
I had a couple ideas myself since posting this thread:
- A reworked Floor Goblin, likely under a different name and design. You would be a very slippery glass cannon focused on theft, possibly even charging up the ability to hold an entire object above your head (with a blacklist). Perhaps instead you could even eat the object, given how carrying it under the floors could either be or look buggy. To balance things out you would have weak arms, so you wouldn't be able to hold guns and high damage melee weapons like the current Floor Goblins.
- Artifact critters. Small artifacts with crawling legs that come with a couple base abilities lifted from mostly handheld artifacts, along with one unique ability based on which artifact type you spawned as. These things would live to annoy people, but would return an artifact on death. Would take some doing to brainstorm all the abilities and balance them though.
- Roboroach. Elevate these boys to a higher level. I'm not entirely sure what they could do but it'd be something with tech. Perhaps they could mimic voices over the radio once every so often, or latch onto borgs to temporarily ion law them.
