The new Mage, this monster is made to deal with groups of enemies efficiently through use of AoE attacks and debuffs. Their attacks are heavily reliant on charging to be effective, leaving them vulnerable between uses. They have two types of attacks, a slow moving projectile when locked on and an AoE ring when not. When charging their AoE the expand like a puffer fish.
Their basic attack is a poisonous/acidic cloud doing a small amount of initial damage and increasing secondary damage after a couple seconds. The stronger the charge, the higher the secondary damage. When upgraded they get a muck/ooze attack more focused on crowd control than damage, slowing or outright stopping their targets. Additionally, their Mask Maker produces a Transformation Potion at level two.
Some idea for their level three special are a devour attack using a frog-like tongue to pull in one unit, disable them for a while, then spit them out with a number of debuffs, a push/pull ability to bring more targets into their AoE range or escape danger, and a blink/burrow/leap to cover short distances very quickly for similar reasons to the push/pull.
Aesthetically they'll be reminiscent of the old horror movies' Swamp Thing or Creature from the Black Lagoon, with froggish facial features, scales, and fins which colour and extend as they level up.
