Detective Grunt
"A tired pig detective who smells like cold cigarettes, wet carpet, and unsolved fairy tales. Detective Grunt wanders through rotting apartments and crooked storybook alleys searching for monsters, missing children, and whoever keeps whispering behind the wallpaper. His snout can sniff out lies, though he mostly uses it to find hidden whiskey. Some say he once solved a case so terrible that even the mirrors in his house refuse to look at him now."
Abilities
Ashtray Interrogation
Detective Grunt roughs up a single enemy with a brutal noir-style interrogation, dealing 25 damage over 2 turns. While the effect is active, the enemy receives -5 damage from all non-affliction abilities, too shaken to fight properly.
Hallway Panic Spiral
Detective Grunt unloads a storm of gunfire, shattered lamps, and screaming furniture into the battlefield, dealing 15 damage to all enemies and becoming invulnerable for 1 turn as he disappears into the smoke and chaos.
Casefile Brain Pierce
Detective Grunt exposes the weak point in an enemy’s story, dealing 40 damage and causing the target to lose 1 random energy (mana). Nobody survives cross-examination with their sanity fully intact.
Final Smoking Gun
Detective Grunt targets one enemy, dealing 45 piercing damage to them if his composure is above 50%, or 45 normal damage otherwise, and drains 1 random energy source from the target. The shot echoes like the end of a very bad fairy tale.
Raincoat Surveillance Mode
Detective Grunt activates full detective instinct, slipping into the shadows of the room and becoming invulnerable for 1 turn while tracking every movement like a paranoid bloodhound.
