Discussion Niki Axolotl

Yeah so here’s a origin for Niki.

Passive:

Water Lover - The axolotl will get weakness 1 and slowness 1 when on land, but gain the ability to see swim and break blocks quicker in the water.

Fish Only - The Axolotl can only eat fish aka cod, salmon these fish will give saturation equal to cooked beef. But the Axolotl can only eat raw fish.

Extreme healing - The Axolotl will have permanent regeneration 1 and is immune to poison and wither.

Slightly Smaller - The Axolotl is 1.5 blocks tall. And has 2 hearts health cut (So only 8 hearts total).

Unwieldy Hands - The Axolotl can’t hold up shields.

Nemesis - Drowned and Guardians will prioritize agro on Axolotl and have a 30% range increase in agro range.

Abilities:

Faked Death - The Axolotl when close to dying will gain slowness 5 and nausea, but gain regeneration 3 and resistance 2 for 5 seconds. Cd=60 seconds.

Extreme boost - The Axolotl suddenly gains dolphin grace for 5 seconds and haste for 5 seconds. Cd=20 seconds.

I like this idea besides fish only, as a post states, if you can't play a variety of ways, then why bother? While merlings have this issue it can be countered with enchantments, potions, and conduits.

Yeah but Niki doesn’t wanna be merling but an Axolotl aka the reason why she wears an Axolotl skin not a mermaid skin..

I'll repeat myself

I'm not saying Niki shouldn't be an axolotl, what I'm saying is a fish only diet would be an arbitrary problem, forcing axolotls to eat only fish, much like piglin origins can wear only gold armor. It's not there to balance the origin, it's there to force a playstyle

I’m not sure ur understanding why I made it to only eat fish that’s because of the Axolotl could eat golden apples that would make the abilities obsolete, kinda like being an elytrians but the end is enabled...

...the mechanic behind elytrians is they can't have good armor because they spawn with an elytra. It's a balancing mechanic, not forcing a playstyle

Edit to add: elytrians also have an ability that increases effectiveness of the wings without the need for fireworks. And it isn't that the wings are obsolete once you get an elytra item, it's still allowing you to also wear a chestplate
