SOMEWHAT SPOILERS AHEAD

- Added the new Metamorphosis menu, the hexen exclusively for the goat

Are you tired of Black Kalev sucking?

Ever wish he could justify the spot he fills as a party member?

Do you think he deserves to clamber out of the shadow of his far superior cousin, Moonless?

If you answered yes to any of these, this is the mod for you!!!

This mod includes:

- Adds 30 Collectibles to progress Black Kalev

- Adds 9 New Skills (for the goat, not you)

- Lets the goat utilise rev (at his own leisure)

- Lets the goat take heroin (at your discretion)

- Increases the goat's base crit chance (he earned it)

- Gave the goat evasion (seriously, he didn’t have any before??? like why??)

- Adds the ability to fight Black Kalev

- Adds 2 new skills for the player

- Adds a new secret boss

- A hexen-type menu exclusively for the goat (The Metamorphosis)

- Adds a new engraving type

- Adds a use for the smelter key

Planned in future:

- Add party talks at the same level as other party members

- Rebalance the new skills if they're too good (or too weak)
