- - - - Alternatively, these options can be unlocked after completing the game or specific pathways
      - Atera
        
        Fast, strong relative to size, agile, many different moves and techniques
      - Rostrup
        
        Tall, can craft things, high carrying capacity, can use tools
- - - - Charge
        
        Keyboard key for gradually accelerating
        
        Increasing damage
        
        Can deflect objects in a straight line like a ping-ping ball if at a certain speed
        
        Fatigue greatly increased
        
        Due to Atera's broken leg, his fatigue increases quickly, limiting his speed. If fatigue is over a certain level or acceleration is stopped by the player, Atera is slower than usual for a short period of time.
        
        The higher fatigue when this happens, the slower he gets or it takes more time to recover. Probably both.
        
        Increasing speed
      - Tail whip
        
        Atera can knock and attack by swinging his tail with normal body momentum, if the force and hit is strong enough and the hit is right
        
        This can lead to interesting, fluid battle choreography where the player focuses on both front and behind at once
        
        If it gets too passive, it could work only if Atera turns around mid-air, hitting with his tail in aerial forward momentum
        
        During the game, he covers his tail with radioactive (?) microorganisms that gives him a poison sting, like a scorpion
  - - - Can only grapple on very specific places
    - - Atera rips off a scale and health is lost. It can be thrown at enemy projectiles to block them
- - - - Pushes the player high up into the air, depending on geyser size
      - Not yet decided if they deal damage
      - Spontaneous, but with a pre-warning
      - All different intervals and sizes
  - - - Releases poisonous gas...
        
        ...every so often
        
        ...by proximity
        
        ...continously
    - - Poisonous bacteria blocking the path
        
        It is possible to go into, but not to get through in time
    - - Thousands of termites that can split up in in groups and regroup. Only they can attack.
    - - A tentacle flower that gives a good whip, and potentially causes temporary blindness
    - - A viscous, thin-floating, blubbery goop that lives on the water bottom. It covers a rather big surface, like slime.
        
        It can eject, move, and stretch itself as it wishes, a bit like a colony of mucus fungus. It might hit or grab the player with a tentacle of goop, for example.
- - - - Possibility to carry objects, like in Rain World
