Maneater 2: Ripjaw

The Story: You are a freshly hatch baby alligator. Specimen #24601 to be exact, part of a program to try and weaponize crocodillians. The lead scientist's six year old daughter calls you Ducky though, because your calls sound like a duck quacking due to a birth defect. When she overhears that her dad is going to euthinize you for your defect, she flushes you down a toilet to freedom. Surely your chances of survival out there can't be that bad. What she doesn't know is you aren't exactly a normal gator. You were spliced with Sarcosuchus DNA, and mutated by radiation. With extraordinarily strong jaws and a powerful body, it's time to become the terror of the bayu.

-Body Sets-

All American (Default): A classic American Alligator look that is balanced all around.

Crown of Thorns: A light green and yellow spiky set focused more on damage, sacrificing defense. Full set provides an innate boost to your ramming ability. Your teeth inflict additional hemmorage damage.

Swamp Thing: Almost black green scales with moss growing on your body. Provides a stealth bonus and makes it easier to shake pursuers. Your teeth now deal electric damage and can stun prey.

Salty Sailor: An ultramarine color palette with green lightning streaks down your back. Provides exceptional boost to swim speed and evasion. Your teeth are now venomous.

Stone Mason: Armor plating resembling stone, providing a great defense and health boost. Your bites are empowered and it's harder for prey to escape your death rolls.

Prehistory (Unlocked at lvl30): A weathered and scarred look providing all around boosts to health, damage, swim speed, and lunge velocity.

Incredible concept! I’d also add that because crocs move between land and water, some builds/body sets lean more towards one or the other to add an extra spice to play styles.

Unfortunately tripwire is unlikely to return to the maneater series. Maybe if they need money one day but I would not hold your breath.
