Add Wortox to Hamlet

[Thieverpedia]

So, I believe it's finally time to add an unimplemented character that's been on the backlog for a while. What other character could there be with the Aporkalypse than Wortox?

Wortox, The Demon "YOU DARE SUMMON ME?"

Health 125, Hunger 200, Sanity 100

Perks

Prefers the dark, no Sanity loss from Dusk and Night

Is empowered by chaos, bolstering all stats by 50 and passively regenerates health by 1 per 5 seconds. Things such as the Ruins, the Volcano during Dry Season, and the Aporkalypse will activate this buff. Will also increase damage done by 25%.

Gains double the Naughtiness from killing creatures

Can eat monster food

Downsides

Is a Monster

Gradually loses Health and Sanity in direct sunlight. Shady hats will prevent Health loss, but not Sanity loss.

Hates the cold, has -60 cold insulation.

Vegetable-based food will invert Health and Sanity gain to loss

Condensed perks

Is a Monster

Hates sunlight & the cold

Is in tune with evil

Prefers meat

Unlock Method

The Ancient Herald has a 5% chance of dropping Demonic Horns. During this time, an 8-sided red star will spawn on the ground in a random ruins. These horns must be offered to the symbol, summoning Wortox to the world, unlocking him.

I'm pretty sure there are better ideas, but this is one that I've had for a while. Let the Ancient Herald bring this doom upon the world!

Genuinely interesting and fun-sounding mechanic ideas. I'm all for it.

I already made myself some Ideas how Wortox could be implemented in Hamlet, because there should be some other usages for the Aporkalypse Calendar, not only avoiding Lush Season as Wigfrid, for example: Unlocking another character during the Aporkalypse.

There might be another room in the Ancient Herald Ruins which contains a downward-pointing pentagram with 5 sockets, one on each corner. Each socket can take a Nightmare Rune which can be dropped for example by every hostile creature during Aporkalypse (Ancient Herald, Ancient Spirit, Vampire Bat, Mant Warrior, Pog) or one being hidden on each island which can be found only during Aporkalypse.

How to summon Wortox: Place a rune on each socket, ignite them with a Torch, Fire staff or any other item and watch Wortox being summoned, similar to the revive-effect of the Magic Flower.

Ideas for his Abilities:

1. Vulnerable to sunlight: While other characters like Wolfgang or Warly suffer from faster Hunger drain or Woodlegs looses Sanity from walking on land, Wortox might loose Health (~2.4 per min) whenever he is on the surface without any gear that delays overheating (Standing below a Tree, Straw Hat, Umbrella, etc.), cause he's some kind of a creature summoned from the hell which isn't adjusted to the surface.
2. Doesn't fear the darkness: He doesn't suffer from the insanity-aura of dusk, night or being in a cave (Sanity drain from hostile mobs isn't affected) and has some short range night vision just like an overcharged WX-78 which makes him completly immune against Charlie
3. Is an evil monster: Krampus is a mob which is focused by Pigs so Wortox should be focused by Pigs aswell. Unlike Webber he might not have any access to the Shamlet Mask so he'll need to steal the items he need instead of buying them. Also he might get some sanity by doing his evil things (Stealing items, burning or hammering buildings, killing innocent creatures, etc.)
4. Can befriend Krampus: Wortox looks similar to Krampus and while Webber can befriend Spiders, Wilbur gains items from Prime Apes and Wilba won't get attacked by Guards when picking anything from farm, Wortox would be able to give some special items to Krampus to befriend him. That might force him to do some evil things to summon Krampus to assist him. A befriended Krampus will fight for Wortox but he still might priorize to pick any item on the ground, unless the mob is attacking him directly. As soon as the friendlyness meter drops to 0, he'll just keep walking and probably disappearing into his sack which will also make all the items disappear so Wortox will be forced to kill his friend before he disappears if he wants to get the loot. (damn traitor!)
5. Is a(n excellent) griefer: Same as Krampus Wortox tries to focus on stealing items. He starts with 2 new tools found in 'Treasure Hunting'-Tab: A Picklock for the ability to enter in any building, a tool which allows him to pick the pig's pockets (Need a nice name for that tool) & Smoke Bombs which replace the Swashy Hat as long as you didn't find any yet.
   • Picklock: Allows you to enter any building in a city and steal anything inside the building
     • Daytime: Building won't contain any Pig at this time but there's a bigger chance that a Royal Guard will notice you
     • Dusk: House will contain a Pig (if not killed recently) which will notice you entering the building and calling for Guards
     • Night: Pig will sleep inside and you'll be able to steal some objects as long as it's night and only if you don't trigger any alarm at all
     • Aporkalypse: Civilians will be inside but Guards won't be triggered at all, unless they're sitting inside; Griefing during Aporkalypse will be easier than on any other time
     • Without Swashy Hat - Pig Guards will notice you same as if you're stealing Plants in a farm and follow you into the building
     • There might also be a chance that there's a Royal Guard guarding inside by RNG or if this house has been griefed way too often
     • Every 2-4 days the worth of treasure inside a Building will raise by 1 Oinc, up to a limit of 20 Oincs.
     • A building might contain some alarm plates that are causing an alert whenever the player steps on it or takes the item without disarming it with Disarming Tools
   • Pigpocket: Attacking any Pig with that item will make all his/her oincs drop, similar to the Masked Pig. But without Swashy Hat everyone will notice you doing that.
   • Smoke Bomb: Throwing them will cause smokes appear on the spot, having a similar effect like the Swashy Hat & Fog while standing inside or when throwing at Royal Guards.
     • Due to the fact that he might be a monster aswell but doesn't have any Royal Spiders nearby, he might be forced to have his Swashy Hat 24/7 ready so maybe the durability of the Hat should drop slower, he might get his own version or have the ability to repair it with a Sewing Kit.
   • That Ability would make him to the Woodlegs of Hamlet (Random items by breaking into other houses instead of sniffing treasures) but it won't be that useful in RoG or SW
6. Is Naughty: Wortox gains increased naughtiness by killing innocent animals which allows him to summon Krampus even sooner
7. *Insert more ideas here please.*

That are way too many Perks & Downsides, can you try to minimize them a bit and to tell all his pros and cons in only 3 short sentences?
