Is it me, or do catchable aliens only have tackle and/or body slam as abilities? Currently, I can't find any catchable aliens with a projectile. The last time I played, I had an army of lizards capable of using bloody vomit. Asides from being hilarious, it was incredibly useful to have pets that gave long distance support. Was this changed in a patch? Or have I just been unlucky?
Just bad luck. I caught one that shot a rainbow. But this was nightly, before the unstable update. However, I doubt they took that out.
Thanks. Question answered then. Just out of curiosity, do you have the coordinates of the rainbow-shooting alien? I'd love an army of rainbow shooters.
In Pleased Giraffe (Unstable right now), all monsters have many more abilities. (including after you capture them) In the combat focused update after that they will have even more, since they are revamping monster, npc, and player combat.
