RP antag critters

[Angel]

I've seen fire elementals in action, I think they'd be too much for RP without making a super nerfed version. Even so, I think my main issue with seeing them on RP is the plasmafires. Spiders possibly? As for plague rats that's something I was considering. I'd either spawn them in small groups compared to pop size or do as Angel said and make a nerfed version. Maybe instead of focusing on eating until you're max size, you can only get to medium size BUT you regain the ability to spawn in more plague rats. For consistency's sake though I'd probably go with the former idea, likely with only spawning 2 unless you get to a pretty high pop.

I do see one issue with things like plague rats and ling critters, these things WILL add confusion to the round and possibly send sec on a wild goose chase with no goose. I don't think I'd know if this would be good or bad without more input from roleplayers, especially sec.

As a sec main, I would love if antag critters could spawn as midrolls, like buttcrabs or plague rats, so there's a little more confusion of what's going on.
This game is all about incomplete information and chaos, so it's nice that seeing a ling critter running around isn't guaranteed that theres a ling, in a way it also counters the meta knowledge we have of assuming "oh thats a plague rat, we must have a plague wratih"
