Nanobot
Actually is just a nanite Swarm, but it starts out looking like the Roboroach pest.
Can physically attack people, but it does 1 damage, essentially to most clothing on the station, nothing.
Has an ability it can cast on a vending machines to possess them.
While possessing a machine it can move around and bonk people with a decently damaging and stamina dealing attack, gets a robust amount of health via vending machine armor. Possessed machines are slow, so unlike the funny admin monkey vendor, you won't be chasing this down the halls, it just sorta lumbers towards you and its best for ambushes. You wanna be fast? Roboroach form is for speed.
Can vend items inside the machine at folks at high speeds, firing candy bars and cigarette packs at people.
Has vending machine special ability, tip. Falls over on a targeted tile or person, crushing them ala the vending machine 30s stun.

Tipping yourself, or having the vending machine take enough damage to "Kill" the machine (Treat it like Wraith possession, where it just sorta reverts back to a normal object afterwards) causes the Nanobot to temporarily become a Nanite Swarm for a super short period of time. Nanites are hard to see, so it could be useful to run away, but they are also fragile. Also, breaking the vending machine turns it into its tipped over state, so someone can drag it back into position so you don't get random vending machines laying around the hallways.

Being a creature that can possess machines sounds really cool, it's like playing Prop Hunt but you hunt the players instead. It's like having a more specific possession based wraith and that's kind of a fun idea. Can you imagine if they could plug into a door and make it squish someone? Or maybe they can hop in and eat wires and mess with things that way, I feel this is open ended enough to have a lot of niche and interesting interactions.
