With Slyith would come a Mad Scienctist Flicker skin. He would have a white lab coat with a brown satchel bag and a belt full of colorful viles. He would have huge goggles and ruffled fur with blue sparks coming out of the ends every few seconds. His latntern would be made out of bones with a small purple candle in it. His invisibility mist would be blue sparks and so would most of his abilities.

Abilites
Heroic Perk: Poisonous Blood
When Slyith dies, a pool of poisonous blood will form around it applying poison and slowing enemies. Poison is continuous damage based equally on crystal or weapon damage. The poison pool lasts until Slyith respawns.
Ability A: Zig-Zag
Slyith zips instantly in a target location, dealing crystal damage to any enemies it zips through. A trail is left behind that slows enemies. This ability can be activated up to 3 times rapidly. If Slyith creates a triangle with the trails, the trails will explode, stunning any enemies inside the triangle. Trails last for 3 seconds.
Ability B: Smoke shroud
Slyith releases vision reducing gases around itself that stay for 4 seconds. The gases will move with Slyith. If Slyith takes damage or uses abilities or items the gas will dissipate. Allies near Slyith will also become invisible.
Ultimate: Teleport snatch
Slyith teleports to a targeted location, stuns any heroes standing near it, and grabs a target hero. The grabbed hero and Slyith are then teleported back to were Slyith first activated the ability.

Lore
Thunder and lightning lashed outside of Flickers laboratory, illuminating his thin figure every few seconds. Creatures were huddled in small jars shaking at every bolt. But Flicker took no notice of the tempest raging outside, for he was to absorbed in his biggest experiment yet, creating life! On his table lay a thin, stitched together bug with pins stuck in its hands and feet. Thin metal rods stretched from the pins to blue crystals harnessed also in metal.
"Hmm... everything is almost ready! How exciting using the mysterious crystals I found in the Meeko territory! I should be able to spark life into this thing."
Flicker whispered to himself, taking goggles out of his satchel bag.
A fairy nested in Flickers lab coat pocket flew out to inspect the bug on the table.
"How did you make this, thing?"
"Oh you mean Slyith? It's torso and pelvis area is from a black armored fairy and it's head from a horned ender beetle. It's wings are from a royal purple dragonfly and the limbs from a black widow, there are a lot now that Kestrel became the spider queen, and the organs are all from a poisonous mud scamper fairy."
"That many different bugs and fairies?"
"Yes of course, its for science." Flicker pulled out one of the viles on his belt, unscrewed the lid, and let a single drop fall onto his tongue.
"Drink this." Flicker said as he handed the small vile to the fairy.
"Why?"
"To protect you from its poison if it bites or claws you, or if it explodes."
Upon hearing that the fairy sipped a tiny amount of the potion.
"Ugh! That's disgusting!"
"It's that or die."
The fairy stuck her tongue out at Flicker and resumed her position in his coat pocket. Flicker picked up a tall thin metal rod and placed it in the center of the table, above the bug, and fixed it to be harnessed to the crystals. He proceeded to lift up the rod until it was out of the roof, for it extended from its inside.
"Any second now..."
CRACK!
A bolt of lightning reach down and struck the metal rod, sending a huge amount of energy through to the crystals. Instantly the crystals turned a bright blue making Flicker shield his eyes and the fairy to duck further into the pocket. Then it was over. Blue light crackled on Slyith's body it's, parts all black from the lightning. Slowly the small bug opened its bulging eyes and twitching slightly all over. Then it proceeded to stand up, flexing its new wings. It examined its claws with curiosity as Flicker examined Slyith with boundless excitement.
"Amazing! It worked! Do you understand me Slyith?"
The Slyith looked up
"Sly-ith?" It pointed to itself and repeated again.
"Slyith."
"Yes! Fascinating! Extraordinary! It understands!"
Slyith walked up to a harnessed crystal, still sending out sparks, and touched it. Suddenly, it's blue sparks shot into Slyith's body and it began to grow. It grew until it was larger than Flicker, then the crystal it was holding exploded. Startled Slyith shrieked and bolted out of Flickers laboratory.
"Wait! Come back!"
Flicker ran outside only to see a trail of purple and black dust streaming into the Tangled Woods.
