Cannibal

The Cannibal is a both an NPC and playable character in Streets of Rogue. They have blue overalls with one suspender, and their face is asymmetrical, with one eye far lower than the other.

They can be unlocked by killing 20 NPCs on a single level.

NPC
The Cannibals are a main threat in the Park, they are always Hostile towards characters who aren't part of the level but are Aligned towards other cannibals (including the player if currently playing as a cannibal). There will be groups of them within houses, caves, and hedge mazes.

They mostly carry Axes as their main weapon and can do a lot of damage. In other areas of the Park, they hide in Bushes and will jump out when you get close. These Cannibals don't have a "home", and they will constantly follow you. Cannibals can also appear in Downtown by hiding in Manholes and attacking you as you walk by.

They will also Cannibalize any corpse they encounter, and even devour their own dead fellow cannibals.

Cannibals also appear in the War Zone disaster level, fighting soldiers who are their rivals and they attack anyone in the floor in sight.

Playable

 * How to fight: You are better at melee than ranged combat but keep a gun on hand just in case. You can use your Bear Traps to help fight ranged enemies by luring them around corners into your trap. Make sure to use Cannibalize after each fight to heal.


 * How to have a successful mission: Your options are very limited due to your traits. Most of the time you will have to fight to complete missions. Use your mission reward items carefully to avoid fights that are too dangerous.


 * How to unlock:  Unlocking the Cannibal is easy and can be easily done in the first level in the Slums, by killing every NPC in sight. Characters like the Soldier or the Mech Pilot can do this more easily than the others. Don't stop until you gotten 20 kills or killed every NPC in the floor.


 * Cannibalize is your main way to heal so use it as much as possible. You can also heal by using First Aid Kits or any type of alcohol such as Beer and Whiskey.


 * You can "cook" corpses to increase the heal gain from Cannibalize. Use a item that starts fires such as a Flamethrower or a Cigarette Lighter and Oil Container on a corpse to cook it.


 * Soldiers are always Hostile towards you, they can appear in the Park in Military Outposts and in Malls in Downtown and Uptown. Unlike other traits such as Scientist Slayer, Specist and Crepe Crusher. This cannot be removed as it's not a trait, and is unique to both the Cannibal and the Soldier player characters.


 * Antisocial and Suspicious drastically limit what you can spend money on. You can still buy items from Drug Dealers, Goodie Dispensers, and Loadout-O-Matics.

NPC

 * Getting the Cool with Cannibals trait will make all the cannibals neutral towards you. This also affects the War Zone cannibals and prevents them from ambushing the player from Manholes in Downtown.
 * Cannibals hiding in Bushes in the Park, can give away their position when you see a shaking bush they're hiding in. If you do see it, you can either avoid it or shoot the cannibal with a ranged projectile weapon from a safe distance.
 * With the trait Cool with Cannibals, you can safely pass through them without any worry of them attacking, as long you don't accidentally hit the the cannibal hiding in the bush.
 * If you're playing as a Cannibal. NPC Cannibals hiding in bushes will ignore you, as they're Aligned towards you.
 * Possessing a random NPC (Aside from Soldiers) in the Park as a Shapeshifter. All Cannibals will be neutral towards you as if you have Cool with Cannibals trait or the Neutral Cannibals mutator on, as such Cannibals won't jump out from Bushes as well, as long you're in a Possessed body of a NPC not outside of the floor.
