MonsterMash

A mod that allows you to select and start as any of the available monsters and drones in the game as playable survivors.

Want to obliterate everything as a Overloading Worm, challenge the moon man as a Beetle or Lemurian, or heck just fly around healing as a Healing Drone, it's all up to you!

Have fun~

Neat little features also include:

-All SURVIVOR-PLAYED Monsters have Passive Health Regen scaled by type of monster they are, Drones although have 3% as Regen instead

-Allowing all monsters have increased interaction distance to be able to reach and interact with chests, drones, barrels, teleporters, etc

-Providing some of the monsters with stronger jump power to compensate with their heavier and larger sizes

-Allowing all monsters, bosses, as well as drones to use equipment items

-Added alternative skills to some monsters for players to try out

--Play as the Elite-type of most Monsters, even Drones can be Elite because why the heck not! (Even works with Elite Aspects with an Activable Slot!)(Note)

--Have a team of AI-controlled monsters that follow you around and fight for the cause! (Note)

--Note:"Please keep in mind that most of these features may not be balanced for Vanilla sake, you may still may play as close to the Vanilla version of whichever monster by not using these said features. Have Fun!"
