Gameplay

Grod possess 2 unique abilities, the first of which is their Stance system. Grod can swap between Mobile and Interact stances, each having it's own purpose. Mobile stance increases movement speed, while Interact grants the user access to a second set of arms to manipulate objects with. Being in Interact stance, however, slows the user down and makes them vulnerable to stuns.

Their second ability is that the "Crown" atop their head is actually their brain, and can be detached at the cost of enduring brain damage. The "Crownspider" can enter brainless bodies or Hydroponics trays by click-dragging. Brainless bodies will simply allow the user to control them as they would a normal player. Entering a Hydroponics tray will regrow the Crown into a full Grod body.

Beware, death as a Crownspider means permanent round removal!

In addition to their abilities, they have a few innate attributes worth noting. Grod cannot be slipped by most sources of slipping, and will never suffer from toe stubbing.

Medical Procedures

Grod are unable to be cloned through normal means, and cannot be defibrillated. To aid a dead Grod, remove their Crown using standard brain surgery, and place their Crown into a Hydroponics tray.
