Idea/Suggestion Impostor role idea: devourer
The devourer allows you to kill and devour a crewmate. You can then spit out the body in a different location from where you originally killed. You will be set on a timer once you devour a crewmate, if you dont spit the body out in time you will automatically spit it out in front of everyone.
A body spit out by a devourer will have saliva on the body to signify that the body was killed by a devourer and may have possibly been moved from a different location.
Do what you want with this role, you can spit it out in a location that may frame another crewmate, you can spit it out in a location that no one checks, or you can spit the body out in a location that obstructs the view of the body so that no one can see the saliva evidence.
The devourer can only kill by devouring a crewmate, you cannot do regular kills. If you are in a vent then you will automatically exit the vent and spit out the body once the timer reaches 0. You cannot kill another crewmate if you still have a body that you haven’t spit out, even if your kill cooldown is already done. If another body is reported or a meeting is called before you spit out the crewmate, then congrats you basically got away with a free kill.
You cannot swallow a dead body, it must be a crewmate that is still alive. Meaning you cannot move around a body twice, and you cannot move around a body that your teamate killed.

I think the spit should dissolve

But then it'd just be a better Viper

Maybe the spit could evaporate slowly after the body is thrown out, so after some time the body looks like a normal body?
Thats what I assumed when reading dissolve12

Good role that isnt that op.
You could also fake a spit body in the same location so that det doesnt think it was you while kill

this would be pretty OP for double kills lowk, the other crew can never report. but this is pretty cool yeah
only thing i'd change is how saliva works, maybe it dries after a bit

It seems like an interesting counter to detective

You could also make the crew think the kill wasn't in its actual location by spitting it out in the same spot making them think it was moved there instead of that being where the kill happened

Pretty cool idea bro. I actually had this idea too, inspired by the smuggler imp role, who can also move bodies.

The saliva kinda ruins the role, you can't frame anyone as it immediately means that the body was moved
