I have a Mudokon named Neso and a Slig named Meso! I don't know what I didn't see that sooner (facepalm). Yeah, I kept that deliberate about Harp's power being hidden. His power is more of a supplimentary one, which requires others around him to work. Here is the next section;

It was daybreak now. Neso yawned, "Did I miss anything Imadaeth?". Imadaeth smiled, "Not really... a couple of Scrabs were fighting but that's pretty much everything. I'm going to take a break, let me know if you want anything". Neso nodded, "Alright then".
With that, Neso was in full control of the body. He was hoping to eat some Spooce, but he didn't know if there were any supplies nearby. He looked in the nearest cupboard... seems to be a few Scrab Cakes left. He bit one in half and ate it, looking at the wrapper. He was still not used to this Slig food... but he would get used to it.
The chemicals used to spice the meat up were a bit strong, but he enjoyed the savoury taste of the meat.
Zale looked through the grass in front of him, he could see a hut with a Slig inside. "Imadaeth?", he whispered to himself. He tried to remember what the Vykker had said. "You will recognize him by his dark skin... and the yellow visor lens". Well, it looked like the description. He took a second look at his tentacle-arm, he hoped this would work.
Neso looked towards the grass ouside the window, he saw another Slig. He didn't manage to get a good look at it, because the other Slig darted away into the grass. Neso looked around, "Imadaeth, we have company". Imadaeth stirred, "Already? No rest for the anti-heroic...".
Zale went to the back of the hut, he held out his tentacle. He was just about to use the acid when Neso moved his body out of the way. The acid went through the hut wall very quickly. Imadaeth's anger was building up. Neso had to try and keep him calm.
Zale pointed towards the hole in the hut, "Want to see if your body can stand up to this acid?". Imadaeth looked at him, "No, but clearly you want to be injured by me". Imadaeth was faster than he looked, he ran towards Zale and in an instant, slapped his face. Zale fell to the ground with a thump.
Zale stood back up and tried to swipe at Imadaeth with his tentacle, but he wasn't used to the weight of it. Imadaeth tried to punch the tentacle but it just buckled and fell into itself, as if he had just punched a massive rubber object.
Imadaeth chuckled, "Fancy arm you got there, did it cost you much?". Zale grinned, "Only my pride and my ability to fit in with normal society. Pah, who needs normality anyway. When I finish you off, I'll get a nice big pay-rise and a cushy security job".
Imadaeth smiled, "It would take an army to kill me". Outside of the hut, Meso and Miro were watching the events unfold. Meso pointed, "Looks like they're fighting each other, come on let's help him".
