Swift scavenging/Meat chunk stealing

13 votes

I love the idea of playing an annoying hyena-like scavenger, so randomly imaged it would be neat to be able to sprint and do a quick pick up while in free movement, rather than having to come into a full stop, hit F, and go into a slow animation that cannot be canceled.

I figure the drawback to this is you always pick up the smallest chunk, or it's just the fact you're diving into feeding mouths that will likely be trying to protect their kills.
To add, this is probably more fitting for the mid-tiers and below, cerato, metri, conc, but especially laten and deinon.

ALSO, an additional idea to tag onto this --

Stealing held meat chunks.
Perhaps done by getting a headshot/neckshots one can steal someone's meat chunk. I'd say reduce the dmg for steals, but people might hold food just for head armor.
Besides just being an annoying thief, I think it would be neat to see something like a dasp lifting its head and trying to rotate its prize away from a smaller pest/or antsy baby
