Stowaway

Stowaways are a stationary predator exclusive to the Downpour DLC. They reside in dim underground areas, and is the third ambush predator added to rain world, and  coming before it.

Appearance
The body is relatively small, and mimics the texture and appearance of pipes its attached to. Before triggered, the Stowaway's body is shrunken into their perch on the ceiling, with long grey tendrils reaching down to the floor, acting as sensors. When triggered, the body suddenly juts out and opens its maw, revealing 5 jagged faded pink teeth. 3 Long pinkish grey tentacles will drop down from inside the mouth, almost quadruple the length of the main body. These tentacles each have a jagged hook at the end.

Combat
Fighting against Stowaways can be very tricky, as they're near invisible ambush predators with a fast attack, however, you can dispatch a stowaway before its ambush is activated. It's main body has a hit box, It can easily be killed using from a distance. Hitting a Stowaway's main body with a will reveal its exact location, making it easier to avoid or kill. If the ambush attack is activated and successful, things get significantly more complicated. The Stowaway's 3 tentacles will constantly attack a creature, keeping it in a stunned state, but it ceases this when it starts to pull its prey towards its mouth. Since its tentacles have hit boxes (Much like and ), a  thrown into a tentacle at the opportune moment will cause the Stowaway to release its grasp. Will cause every Stowaway in the area to release their tentacles, before quickly retracting them. Cherrybombs also cause Stowaways to release everything in their grasps.

Like the other Arthropods, can kill Stowaways

Evasion
Evading a Stowaway is a much simpler task, the ambush attack is only initiated if a creature is touching its sensory tendrils for a prolonged period of time, quickly passing underneath a Stowaway is enough to evade it. In the case that its ambush is initiated, its tendrils can be avoided by quickly running to one side of it until you're out of the Stowaway's reach. Creatures can be thrown or lured into the tendrils to activate them prematurely, since the Stowaway will only focus on one creature at a time, this can be used for safe passage while it's distracted.

Camouflage
Stowaways excel at blending into their environments, being almost completely invisible except for the sensory tendrils they let down to catch food. They sink slightly into the platform when in wait of prey to cover less surface area and be less visible.

Predation
Stowaways predate in a unique and effective way, when the sensory tendrils are set off, it will extend out from its perch in the ceiling to get closer to its prey. Then, using the 3 hooked tentacles its sporting, it will periodically knock its prey out, making sure it's immobilized and doesn't have any way to fight back. The Stowaway will then bring the food up to its mouth, swallow it, and resume its place stuck snuggly in a ceiling. When prey moves around while the Stowaway is in an active state, it will follow it with its mouth to ensure its not only closer to being eaten, but so it can effectively launch its tentacles out.

Variants & attributes
The teeth, tentacle, and tendril amount never varies, as well as the colour of the body. However, the teeth can take on a shade of deep grey to light pink, and the tentacles have a gradient also ranging from grey to pink.
