The full moon rises! The Werehog is unleashed!


The Werehog returns, with a whole new set of skills and gameplay, inspired by his gameplay in Sonic Unleashed!

Abilities

The Werehog's combat is significantly different from his original game, this time tailored towards' SRB2's level design, which encourages using enemies to your advantage to progress in a fluid manner. But, if you can't run from a fight, he's well equipped for a good brawl!

Running

This ability is enabled by Default. If you wish to disable it for the vanilla experience, type "runbutton disable" in console.
The Werehog moves slower than the rest of the cast, but by holding Custom 1 you run on all fours to achieve maximum speed! Be careful though - he has a much higher acceleration than others, so try not to slip and fall while running!

Were-Claw

Unlike his hedgehog counterpart, the Werehog can't attack enemies by jumping on them, but by pressing spin midair, he can slash forwards with his claws for a poweful attack that can destroy spikes, walls and floors alike. It's great for midair combat, as you can use it multiple times after jumping, or even bouncing on springs!

Were-Spin

Tons of enemies on the floor, and don't want to repeatedly bounce on each one to defeat them? Well then, has Werehog got the move for you! By holding spin on the floor, you'll start spinning around like a denim-wearing-bandicoot and destroy all enemies (spikes or walls) in your path!

Double Jump and Grapple-Punch
icon.png

If there are no enemies nearby, tapping the jump button again in the air will give you some extra height with the Double Jump! Useful when you slip off a platform, or to make it easier to reach higher places.

If there are enemies near you when jumping, pressing the jump button will make the Werehog stretch his arm to grab the nearest enemy and grapple towards it. Just tapping the jump button will make you bounce off it like a homing attack, stopping your momentum. But, by holding it, you'll bounce much higher and launch at full speed forwards! You can combo multiple enemies and keep the pace while you play "The Floor is Lava" on any level!

Absolutely everything about Werehog's abilities, sound effects and visual effects is thanks to MotdSpork.

Wow, this came out of nowhere but I'm glad you took the time to make Werehog look nicer. It really goes to show how goofy his face was in the earlier versions. Thank you so so much!

Werehog but good

i transform werehog into super, and it turns purple, maybe that's the meaning of "no super form, but hey now its purple´´ i like this mod, and is better when you use it with modern sonic and buddyEX, you can alternate, and the modern sonic is from sonic unleashed, and that make better this combination.

I really liked the way that the wherehog played. His abilities were fun to use. The grapple punch targeting is not very good though. There were frequent times where the werehog would grapple punch directly behind me and sometimes the werehog wouldn't grapple something close to me. This got me killed sometimes. Also the spin move is pretty bland. Overall really fun to play.

I remember when I was thinking "man, I should learn how make characters because I doubt anyone else would make the werehog" then seeing him in like a day later, good times.

So The werehog is a great character, I like how his ability to stretch his arms isn't lost as I was thinking about how hard it would be to convey that, but the grapple punch does a perfect job representing that along with the ability to use it to stop and keep all of your momentum when using it, making it really versatile when platforming or speeding through a level.

The Were-Claw in the in the air is neat, but the hit box always felt a little to small, like smaller then the piko hammer, and it's use feels much more limited, only thing I could suggest is take make the hit box bigger and probably change the sprite of the move to reflect the bigger hit box, but maybe it's just a me issue.

Were-Spin is also nice move to make up for the lack of a spin dash, and it being fully controllable is a good way to make it useful and more unique then just a spin attack even if it's small.

I do think the werehog is lacking a bit, it might be the were-claw bit or maybe I was expecting more combat options, but that's tricky to place in a game like srb2, but cacee also did manage to pull something like that off, so maybe he could use a punch attack like that, but that might be hard to pull off when his in his running stance unless the attack changes depending on what state you are in.

Despite the small issues I have The Werehog still a very fun character with good utility and I'm looking forward to his update so I can play him again, due to his now bugged grapple punch, take your time on that I know it will turn out great.
