Lantern Mouse

Lantern mice are creatures found in dark urban areas of the world, such as Shaded Citadel. They are not aggressive, as in fact you use them to navigate through dark areas. They are extremely helpful due to their bioluminescence, but tend to flee from you if they perceive you as a threat.

Properties

 * Lantern mice are bioluminescent and glow with considerable strength, although they need to spend some effort to turn their light on.
 * They will run from the player in fear if slugcat is holding a spear.
 * They can be grabbed and dragged around as a portable light source, although they weigh the player down considerably, restricting movement.
 * They will repel small groups of spiders, but large groups of spiders will attack them aggressively. Throwing a mouse into a group of spiders can help distract them for some time.
 * If you kill a Lantern Mouse while it's charging up, it will go back to its original color.

Appearance
Lantern mice look like tiny teddy bears with elastic tails they use to hang from the ceilings and scaffolding. They come in a variety of colors, including red, green, and blue.
