+
+1. cool foods? (grubrings)
+2. have three stages of growth depending on time. (Or energy drained altho that seems like a hard one to code)
+3. be capable of eating people that get knocked out. (also be able to shock attackers that don’t wear insulated gloves.)
+5. ((potentially use digested people to reproduce))
