Anyone else disappointed that (SPOILER)

Anyone else disappointed that Umbra is just a normal black cat with no void effect?

[Skrillning]

Yeah, I was personally expecting a bit more from them, especially since you're spending a monstrous amount of hard-to-find material for recruitment. The new portraits are quite pretty, though. I think they're a perfectly good NPC, great to interact with and befriend, but the cost of recruiting them is way too high with too few benefits.

I would kind of have to agree as well. I was hoping that, since voidlings have a special tentacle animation while attacking, that Umbra would be able to do that too. Unfortunately, they're nothing special when it comes to fighting. No special ability or anything. I do agree that the pelt itself is mediocre as well, since it really is just a black cat. However, adding more than that would probably take quite a bit of work as it would require some changes to npcs in general.

I do wish they at least had a new unique trait though that made them special to buddy up with.

Maybe they do extra damage to voidlings, too, or can dodge voidling projectiles. That would be so cool. Although maybe Umbra can do this, they just don't want to because they are using innate voidling abilities to fight other voidlings?
