Butcher

The Butcher is the heaviest melee bruiser in Mewgenics, with CON+3 and STR+2 behind a Cleave basic attack that hits a full 3x3 area — every adjacent and diagonal tile at once — and causes slain enemies to drop meat pickups. The innate Meat Hook compensates for the SPD-2 penalty by pulling enemies directly into range, which would otherwise leave the Butcher unable to reach anything that doesn't walk up to it. Build paths branch from the meat-generation loop: consuming it for movement bonuses (Hoggish), cooking it with fire abilities, spreading Rot and flies for a debuff-heavy playstyle, or using self-damage spells for offensive buffs. When kills are generating meat that fuels more kills, the Butcher's snowball potential is significant.
