Yeek



Yeeks are jumping, energetic, frog-like creatures exclusive to the Downpour. They are passive creatures that jump around open spaces with their two clubbed appendages and are commonly found together in groups, not straying too far from each other.

Appearance
Yeeks have two orange oval eyes, a medium-sized body with two hip-like bumps on each respective side. They have two long stretchy clubbed appendages that allow them to jump from great heights. They have various spines on their backs, that can be spiked or clubbed, the ends of which are colored orange.

Utility
Yeeks can be carried, which helps reach platforms that are too far up for to jump by drastically increasing Slugcat's jumping height. While carried, the Yeeks will stop jumping independently and let the player control it at the drawback of requiring two hands and being heavy. Getting your hands on one can be quite difficult due to the Yeeks continuous jumping. Slugcat can also use Yeeks to climb poles much faster.

Abilities & Behavior
Yeeks don't respond much to noise, creatures or their environment, instead aimlessly jumping around whichever direction the leap goes using their legs to switch to left and right. They can climb poles using their two feet, and crawl through tunnels by bobbing their body up and down presumably jumping then hitting the top to propel itself slightly.

Yeeks may also pick up certain food items, (primarily slime molds and gooieducks ) and frantically jump around with them.

Jumping
Yeeks aren't consistent at jumping high or low and switching directions, being able to avoid predators by jumping onto platforms or jumping over them, but this can sometimes lead to its demise by jumping into a predator's mouth or falling off a cliff.

Yeeks cannot climb poles, and cannot be caught or eaten by pole plants.

Resting
When near a flat surface, spawning into a room, or waking up from a shelter, Yeeks will go into a rest position on their stomach.

Trivia
