Possibly also good for staff assistants.
Basically, sponge capsules, but instead of having friendly cats and bees and such in it, they have the nastiest most aggressive creatures the Syndicate could find. Just toss a selection of nasty critters in these and you're good to go.
ugh can someone move this to ideas, im dumb

What do you do when you accidentally spawn a wendigo? Are they friendly to the spawner?

The nastiest most aggressive creatures the Syndicate could find should be like aggressive space mice or spiders.

Assuming you get them in large numbers, it might be overpowered if they were friendly to the spawner. Of course, we haven't really seen it in action yet so it's a bit hard to tell.
Dying to his own wendigos would totally be a clown thing though do it

Sounds like a fun idea, especially if the mobs are hostile to the creator. It would be like kudzu, effectively shutting down a part of the station while the critters linger around.
Bonus points if they spawn critters from the gauntlet. Martians, grody things, living toolboxes.

Hostile to everyone, of course. Be careful with wild animals!

I dunno, sponge capsules are silly enough that it seems weird anyone over staff assistants would have them.

clown and staff assistant have too many unique traitor items. either make it surplus only, available to all traitors, or QM/maybe scientist (those are weird science) only

Make them assistant NPC sponge capsules and give them to the HoP

instead of delivering a crate of monkeys, the monkey crate should be a sponge capsule box full of monkeys

Have job specific NPCs and adjust the telecrystal cost based on how dangerous they are. The janitor, for example, could have a 1tc pack of angry space mice.
