This one makes dusk rats no longer a morph option, while adding Corrupted Avar Chieftains that *can* be morphed into for the same poison.\r\n\r\nWhy?\r\n\r\n* Dusk rats are, graphically, hilariously bad.\r\n\r\n* Avar chieftains are, graphically, super freaking cool.\r\n\r\n* If we're going to have players running around dealing poison with their bows, we should have them look cool and sensible while they do it.\r\n\r\n* Because of their lower HP, dusk rats can be ill formed into under AMA and possibly even with Dement (I actually calculated this and used it in a tournament). Corrupted Chieftains will require a bit more spellpower to achieve this best illusionary form proc.\r\n\r\nThat's pretty much it. The Corrupted Avar Chieftain also spawns at Ruins of the Riija temple sometimes, and drops loot not normally found on the island (like DAFs). He also gives positive karma, another rare resource on the island. His theming is the same as shadowbeasts (kriipa + Qor, chieftain + Qor).\r\n\r\nObviously we lived without this for a year, but I also think our play experience and marketing and promotion materials will look cooler with Avar Chieftains bowing people down rather than pure black rat silhouettes clawing at the air like wtf. I guarantee nobody from outside Meridian has ever watched a PvP video and understood what the hell those rat silhouettes are doing all over."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/OpenMeridian/Meridian59/issues/comments/140431291","html_url":"https://github.com/OpenMeridian/Meridian59/pull/1155#issuecomment-140431291","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/OpenMeridian/Meridian59/issues/1155","id":140431291,"user":{"login":"GarOfMeridian","id":7925385,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7925385?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/GarOfMeridian","html_url":"https://github.com/GarOfMeridian","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GarOfMeridian/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GarOfMeridian/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GarOfMeridian/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GarOfMeridian/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GarOfMeridian/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GarOfMeridian/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GarOfMeridian/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GarOfMeridian/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GarOfMeridian/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-15T15:28:51Z","updated_at":"2015-09-15T15:28:51Z","body":"I just removed them from spawns entirely for the time being.
