Changelings Climb

[drowsiestprince]

It'd be fun for changelings to have the ability to climb walls and ceilings like they did in the show! Also adds to their creep/sneak factor.

Agreed. And imagine being sniped by a block of stone on a high ceiling.

Do you have a reference where changelings are shown to be able to climb? I believe I remember that being something they could do but I don't remember which episode it was.

Right now the climbing ability is limited to the spider form when shapeshifting. Extending that to (untransformed) changelings is something I could do, just want to have the show as a reference so I know it's more or less in line with canon.

No prob dawg!

That last one I always just assumed they were flying 🤔

their wings aren't moving while they crawl down the pillars

Well, it’s kind of pointless to have an invert gravity function, if you can’t walk on the ceiling or the walls.

since when could they invert gravity? ?? ?

[xyzzy121]

They can't, but we already have the batpony hang-from-ceiling function. I was kind of annoyed that you couldn't walk on the ceiling. This seems like the perfect place for that.

You're fine! Imagine it though, You are a stone block sniping people from the vaulted ceiling of a cavern. Glorious.

awesome. it'd be great if changelings could crawl around on ceilings and walls. it'd be cool to see batponies crawl on ceilings, but maybe be restricted by block types in a way that changelings wouldn't? since they're actively grabbing onto things to dangle like bats while changelings work like bugs and just kinda naturally stick to things with... what i believe is a special type of microscopic hair coating that bugs have if i'm remembering right? i also just really enjoy slight differences of how species use certain similar abilities.

I picture Changelings just digging their claws in with stone, and perhaps a bit of magic. They feel like they should be the mlp equivalent of a xenomorph in creep factor, and I couldn't picture a xenomorph crawling around on the ceiling WITHOUT digging its claws into whatever surface it's on.

[drowsiestprince]

That is pretty cool sounding....

LETS GO!
