Yes it's a Pokemon. But why out of all the 718 critters Sableye?

Well,

- It's about the perfect size, shape and body structure for a Don't Starve Character.
- Its design would look just nice in DS's sketchy artstyle
- Sableye's lore works well with several elements and items in the DS world.
- Its a cute little bugger overall.

Let's see how he would play as a character shall we?

(Suggestions, not final)

Pros

>Can consume minerals to fill hunger regain health/sanity, related to its Pokedex entry.

- Common minerals such as flint and rocks will fill/regain less whereas gold and gems will fill/regain more
- In addition to this, consuming certain minerals such as gems or even lightbulbs will cause Sableye's        eyes to glow and light up like the Miner's Cap/Lantern for a short period or maybe even provide other boosts such as temporary attack/health/speed buffs.

>Reduced Sanity loss and or increased speed at night
Sableye is a Dark/Ghost type, meaning he's comfortable in the dark. He still can't deal with Charlie though.

>Starting Items
Sableye could start with the Dark Sword, or some Nightmare Fuel. Again going back to his Dark/Ghost Type. Maybe even the Codex Umbra or early access to the Magic Tab.

>Sharp Claws?
Sableye's unarmed attacks do decent or higher damage than pick/axes or even spears, at the cost of a very small amount of hp per attack or reduced range. Maybe it can even mine/cut down trees unarmed with the same penalties, which would synergize well with its ablity to eat minerals. Might be unbalanced though.

Cons

>Reduced Health
Reflecting his low health stat in the actual Pokemon games. Makes him very similar to Maxwell coupled with the starting items though.

>Reduced effectiveness of normal food
Sableye prefers minerals over normal food, so he gets less out of meats and veg. This can be somewhat remedied by offering meat to the Pig King to get gold.

>Sanity Loss from flowers/bugs/mushrooms.
Because its is an edgy little gremlin. But seriously somehow would like to incorporate Sableye's weakness to the Fairy type. Butterflies and flowers are pretty fae, and the mushroom circles are known as fairy rings in real life.

>Increased Naughtiness gain?
Sableye has quite the mischevious personality, which means that actions that add to naughtiness are have their naughtiness point gains increased, and some actions that dont usually increase naughtiness now do.

So overall Sableye's main features are its ability to eat minerals and work well in the dark, while being weak and not getting a lot from regular food.

Other ideas to consider;

Sableye's quotes when examining stuff could subtley reference some of its attacks or abilities from the Pokemon games, and its tricky and mischevious nature. Example,

(Upon examining Nightmare Fuel) "Hmm, it's a lumpy ball of shadows/Shadow Ball."
(Upon examining Science Machine) "Kekeke/Hehehe, a machine to further my trickery."

Sableye could most likely be voiced by a Didgeridoo, as it's an odd sounding instrument that sort of suits the characters creepy look. Other instruments come to mind but I can't put my finger on them.

Increased hunger loss is an option, as Sableye's consumption of minerals means it doesn't have to worry about perishable food sources. However it may promote increased spelunking due to minerals eventually running out on the surface, or maybe even Rock Lobster farming.

Character Select Screen : Sableye, The Pitch Black

I hope this idea inspires someone to create a character mod for Sableye or perhaps even a Wableye or something. Hopefully if someone does pick up on it, I can try my hand at drawing the Character Sprite for the mod. Feel free to offer your suggestions and feedback regarding the mod idea.

I'm sorry, but I'm so sick of seeing Pokemon characters in Don't Starve (and all of the other characters that don't even try to mimic the artstyle).  I think it would be best if you made up something entirely new to use.

 

Actually, I have a character that's been in the works for a while now that is pretty similar to all of the stuff you just mentioned:

 

 

I'm not going to get into specifics, but it eats minerals and regains sanity in darkness.

I haven't seen any Pokemon Mods round the workshop myself, but yeah quite a few mods out there don't try to match up with the artstyle (Looking at you Puppy Princess).

Your character looks awesome by the way, its almost got Sableye's shape. Maybe you could use the 'eat gems get light' mechanic thing for your character? Maybe it could even stick the gems in it's sockets to do so, but I don't wanna impose on your ideas. Hope to play as it soon.

Thanks.  Reign of Giants sorta broke it, so I'm going to have to go back and fix it.  But I've got a few more I need to do first before I release this one.

So, if you find something cute, you kill it?

 

Well, I hope nobody ever intrusts you with a box of kittens.

I like them crispy.

Also, sableye would be a neat addition to the game, if you want...

You don't have to follow the style, but me, I like my tarts tart.
