Rivulet

''Breathes underwater, and moves through the world with ease. These adaptations are essential, as you'll be pitted against a world of increasingly frequent floods, where time is of the essence.''

The Rivulet is one of five playable Slugcats in the Downpour DLC. They begin the game in Drainage System, and have a variety of unique mechanics, including greatly increased movement speed, swim speed and jump height, greatly extended breathing capacity underwater, and the ability to pop by holding it. Cycles are much shorter and shelter failures are more frequent in the Rivulet campaign, making Rain much more frequent.

Food
5 food pips are required to hibernate, while up to 1 may be stored for the next cycle.

Standard
Rivulet is much faster than survivor at ~2.5x speed, also possessing increased jump height, swim speed and a very high backflip.

Sliding
Rivulet has a very powerful slide, being able to traverse around 2/3rds of the screen at will. This is ideal for traversing flat areas quickly.

Spearing
Rivulet has difficulty getting spears to stick in walls, needing to stand very close for spears to stick.

Swimming
Rivulet is a great swimmer with an absurdly high lung capacity, being virtually infinite for all intents in areas not made for Rivulet.

Opening
The Rivulet's opening fades in to show a room in Drainage System. Two explosions are heard and a dead and Rivulet fall into water from a shaft in the ceiling. Rivulet also opens with a mark of communication.
