Saint is one of five playable Slugcats in the More Slugcats Expansion. They are able to grapple and swing from walls and ceilings with their long tongue, but they are otherwise weak and incapable of throwing Spears, making their agility essential to their survival.
Saint is unlocked as a playable character after completing both 
Riveruleto's and 
Lancmajstro's campaigns.

General Changes
- Eating meat gives no food pips
and briefly stuns Saint.
- This does not apply to creatures' 'eggs'; however,
Fire Eggs give progress toward 
The Monk, and 
Eggbugs are not present in Saint's campaign. The only way to attain 
The Hunter Passage is repeated starve cycling after eating meat[*]. - In Expedition mode, if the player selects the Item Crafting perk, this can be bypassed by combining meat and a plant.
- This does not apply to creatures' 'eggs'; however,
- Saint always dies to
Lizard bites.
- Most non-lethal attacks leave Saint weakened, afflicting them with an extended exhaustion debuff. Some creatures that can inflict this status are
Infant Centipedes, 
Snails, and the headbutt of a 
Squidcada.
- Snails' shockwaves cause Saint to convulse for ~4 seconds and deplete their breath almost completely.
Lancos cannot be properly thrown and deal no damage. Instead, they spin in the air and fall after a short distance. Other throwables like 
Rocks, 
Lilypucks, 
Grenades and 
Spore Puffs still work, however.
- This means that, while unconventional, passages such as
The Outlaw and 
The Dragon Slayer are technically attainable. - If Saint is in the grasp of a creature such as a
Dropwig, they are able to throw a Spear to be released. The Spear will do 1 damage, same as if done by 
Pluvivanto.
- This means that, while unconventional, passages such as
- Saint cannot open
Popcorn Plants with Spears; they instead open by themselves as the blizzard worsens.
- Spears thrown by
Scavengers are still capable of opening them.
- Spears thrown by
- In Expedition, Saint is capable of throwing Spears albeit with severely reduced velocity and damage, which does not apply to upthrows.
- Saint cannot open
Echoes can be met at any Karma level and raise Saint's maximum Karma by 1. Meeting one while having 
5 maximum Karma raises Saint's maximum Karma by 2 instead.
- Saint starts with a maximum Karma level of 2 and must meet 7 Echoes to reach 10 Karma.
- Saint has 3 unique Echoes, and some vanilla Echoes have been moved or removed.
- Nearly all Colored Pearls have been 'blanked' by the passage of time. Only 2 remain readable: The Pink Pearl at Farm Arrays and a Pearl that is special to a certain Iterator.
- Saint takes 4 times as much damage from explosions, making them much more risky to use.
- This prevents the use of
Explosive Spears for movement in Expedition without the explosion resistance perk.
- This prevents the use of
Void Spawn are always visible without first eating a 
Neuron Fly.
[*] This can be done by encountering an 
Echo on each of the starve cycles in order to reset the game state to pre-starve while keeping the passage progress. Exiting out during the 30-second grace period on the starve cycle, patched out with Remix enabled but possible to re-enable with the "Vanilla exploits" option, is an alternative.
World Changes
- Snow falls all over the surface.
- Almost every region is renamed to reflect the passage of time.
Submerged Superstructure's name has not been changed.
- Water freezes Saint faster when the snow grows intense enough.
- Scavengers can be found in more regions and in greater numbers.
Yellow Lizards are widespread across most regions.- All Lizards except for
Caramel Lizards and 
Eel Lizards have hair-like structure on their heads, which is more commonly seen in Yellow and 
Strawberry lizards. 
Five Pebbles has collapsed and has fallen on top of 
Shaded Citadel, crushing it. As such, 
The Exterior and 
Metropolis no longer exist and cannot be accessed. What remains of the regions that comprised the Shaded Citadel and 
Five Pebbles' superstructure is now known as the 
Silent Construct.
Drainage System has transformed into 
Undergrowth, a humid jungle environment unaffected by the cold. Rhinestones beneath Shattered Glass can be found there.- The Rot in
Garbage Wastes (Glacial Wasteland) is completely gone.
Frigid Coast's waters are now fully clean. Fauna and flora from the Submerged Superstructure like 
Giant Jellyfish and 
Glow Weeds have expanded into the region. 
Miros Vultures replace regular Vultures.
- The Leg and the part of the Underhang that contained the lower entrance to Five Pebbles have crushed the Karma Gate between Shaded Citadel and Shoreline, replacing it with a connection to the Silent Construct.

Looks to the Moon has gravity fluctuations due to Looks to the Moon's partial reactivation. The mostly intact 
Luna can be reached through the passages above Looks to the Moon's chamber while there is low gravity. Distant Towers upon Cracked Earth can be met at the western dead end, beyond the Five Natural Urges' representations.
SPOILER WARNINGThis section contains major plot details. If you have not made significant progress in the game, then it is recommended that you read no further!
- Submerged Superstructure has a few changes to make it easier to reach The Heart, and Saint can find an additional, optional Echo inside of Bitter Aerie. Even with the changes, reaching The Heart is incredibly difficult without 10 maximum Karma. There is an alternate route to Bitter Aerie up through Looks to the Moon's Memory Conflux. The secret Echo Eight Spots on a Blind Eye lives near the Auxiliary Transmission Array.
Ancient Labyrinth now has a visual distortion effect similar to the one in the Depths, which is now gone entirely and replaced with a massive pit that leads to 
Rubicon. Rubicon cannot be accessed without 
, and any attempts to jump down just teleport the player back up.
Region Name Changes
Nearly all accessible regions in Saint's campaign have altered names, which are listed here. Omitted areas are either inaccessible or have kept their original name.

Blizzard
Rain is not present in Saint's campaign. Instead, snowfall gradually increases into a blizzard, decreasing all creatures' (except those immune to the cold) temperature until they hibernate or freeze. Warmth can be retained by maintaining proximity to warm creatures or objects, holding or swallowing warm objects such as 
Lanterns, and being indoors. When freezing, Saint may fall over or drop objects.

Grappling
Saint possesses a long tongue they can use to grapple onto terrain, objects, and creatures. They can also grab onto poles upon retracting their tongue if it does not come into contact with a different surface. Similarly to the 
Grappling Worm, Saint's tongue can be used by pressing in midair and pressing again to let go. When Saint is hanging vertically or otherwise still, their tongue can be extended or retracted by holding or , and Saint can move 45 degrees horizontally in either direction. While attached to a surface, Saint can eat food while still and throw objects. While attached to a creature or object, Saint either pulls it or is pulled by it depending on the mass ratio. This allows Saint to grab 
Blue Fruit and ride 
Rain Deer without using a 
Spore Puff, among other uses. There is no cooldown on the grapple ability.
-
Saint extending and retracting their tongue -

Saint can extend their tongue in 3 directions: diagonal-left, diagonal-right, and straight up. This differs from Grappling Worms, which can only extend upward. If no directional input is held, Saint's tongue releases in the last held direction. Saint only releases their tongue upward when is held. Releasing in a horizontal direction adds momentum which is not removed on switching direction, which can be initiated at any point.
If Saint initiates a backflip or slide-flips into a grapple, they become locked in a semi-permanent aerial roll state until they hit a surface. If initiated by a backflip, the roll can be paused by holding the opposite direction. If initiated by a slide-flip, Saint spins even faster and cannot stop or change direction. The rolling state can be used for faster vertical and horizontal movement respectively, at the cost of player control.
Climbing
Jumping while grappled detaches the tongue and gives Saint upward momentum. This can be used to climb anywhere there is a reachable wall or ceiling. Although some surfaces automatically detach Saint, manually jumping propels them upward regardless of this property. On poles, this acts as a normal pole-boost. Saint gains the most height when vertically attached to a surface or when crouching.
Velocity
Saint's tongue can be used to gain incredible speed as it is longer and more versatile than a Grappling Worm. This is mainly useful for traversing long horizontal rooms with ceilings by repeatedly releasing as late into the swing as possible; as each forward grapple adds momentum, initial speed is not required. Vertical momentum also applies to the grapple; however, this has limited use, as it is mainly encountered when grappling while falling from a great height, in which case Saint is yanked upwards relative to their speed.
Freezing
Saint has difficulty moving and is slower when below 1 pip of warmth. They may fall over while walking or climbing, and often drop held objects. This does not affect their tongue, so they can stay grappled onto a surface indefinitely, even after death.
Attunement
SPOILER WARNINGThis section contains major plot details. If you have not made significant progress in the game, then it is recommended that you read no further!
Once Saint reaches a maximum Karma level of 10, they reach attunement and unlock the ability to fly and ascend creatures, instantly killing them. The player can take flight by pressing while holding while airborne. Upon activating the ability, Saint opens their eyes and a maximum 
Karma symbol appears above their head. Their eyes and the symbol strobe through different colors.
The karma symbol is surrounded by green pips in a circle, indicating the remaining amount of time Saint can use the ability, with 1 pip lasting around a second. Once the pips fully deplete, Saint cannot activate flight until they recharge. When not in flight, Saint refills 1 pip every 5 seconds. Saint's current karma level changes the maximum length of time they can use it.
While in flight, Saint moves slightly faster than walking speed through air and as fast as Riveruleto holding a 
Rarefaction Cell through water. They can breathe underwater until the ability is deactivated. They can pick up objects and eat but cannot throw objects.
Holding while flying allows the player to move the karma symbol over Saint's head via directional inputs. After 1-2 seconds, the center of the karma symbol 'pops' and instantly ascends creatures with a slight area of effect, effectively killing them. Disturbances like being grabbed or hit by 
Red Lizard spit cancel the current ascension attempt.
Ascensions do not count as kills unless Saint hits their target with a different attack first (e.g. a 
Rock). This makes it a viable method to gain 
The Outlaw or 
The Dragon Slayer. Additionally, ascending creatures such as Scavengers does not affect reputation with them. Ascensions work on any creature, including those that cannot ordinarily be killed. Guardians can survive up to 3 ascensions before dying. Ascension can also open 
Popcorn Plants, forcing them to drop their 
Seeds.
Five Pebbles and 
Looks to the Moon can both be ascended. Should the player die or quit in the same cycle as ascending either of them, they remain ascended upon continuing. If one or both are ascended, they offer special dialogue at the end of 
Rubicon.
In Expedition, Saint is permanently capped at 5 maximum Karma and is unaffected by Echoes, so reaching attunement is impossible. If a player selects Saint in Jolly Co-Op, attunement works normally and can be used to ascend other players.
Echo Monologues
Trivia
- The only kind of Spears Saint is able to throw are
Fire Spears, which are only found in the final region. - Lizards in Saint's campaign have hair-like structures on their heads.
- The game takes screenshots of Saint at each Karma cap increase and displays them during their ending.
- If Saint's tongue latches onto a
Noodlefly or 
Firebug, they become aggressive. - Unlike other Slugcats, Saint can hold
Batflies and Infant Noodleflies indefinitely without killing them. - Saint is killed if their tongue touches active flux condensers.
SPOILER WARNINGThis section contains major plot details. If you have not made significant progress in the game, then it is recommended that you read no further!
- If Saint has achieved attunement, attempting to eat a Batfly causes Saint to ascend them instead.
- Saint cannot activate their attunement ability in Arena, but they can still ascend Batflies in this manner to gain points.
- Saint's ascension ability does not work on Iterators outside of their own campaign. Instead, the Iterator is only displaced and does not acknowledge the disturbance.
- If the player restarts Saint's campaign after completing it, the Slugcat selection screen art still displays their ending artwork.
- If Saint finishes the game with an item in their stomach, they still have it after restarting; this allows for 'smuggling' items between playthroughs.
- Saint's tongue can go through Void Fluid to attach to ceilings.
