[QUOTE="rjs, post: 5263617, member: 16164"] This. This is awesome. But a singing, charismatic stomach monster is just hilarious. Here's what I would do off the top of my head. Give the character speed 0 (unless you want some hot X-Files action) and give him the following trait: Conjoined Twin Quato is joined at the stomach with Quaid (I realize Quaid is Ahnold's character) and thus occupies Quaid's space. Whenever Quaid moves, Quato moves with Quaid, remaining in his space. Whenever Quato would move, he instead allows Quaid to move and Quato moves with him.

The boost to OA helps mitigate Quato's vulnerability to OAs when using ranged/area powers. Quato can also still be attacked as a separate creature.
