These new characters are the following:

• The creek: an aquatic slug-cat that can last longer underwater and moves through the world more easily.
• The glutton: a variant that knows how to enjoy the small pleasures of life. This expert in gastronomy is great at tinkering with the objects that he finds along the way.
• The artificer: This fierce fighter is a specialist in pyrotechnics and explosives.
• The spearman: this mutated variant has no mouth and uses spears that it draws from its body to fight and feed itself.
• The Saint: this cat-slug, which is attuned to the etheric plane, does not use weapons. Instead, he uses his tongue to reach objects or platforms that are far away.
