Gruel

Gruels are a species of Corruption. They have bodies which normally contain melted Program Heart liquid, though their bodies can also be filled with other kinds of liquid. Although Gruels can be filled with other kinds of liquid, they must specifically be filled with melted Program Hearts in order to function properly. Without the melted Program Heart liquid, Gruels become mindless husks.

Gruels are usually very timid and easily intimidated, giving them a tenacity to lurk and stay on the sidelines when in battle.

Databrawl Battle Zone
In the Battle Zone, Gruel is a Token-earnable character that players on the Corruption teams can get when a Special Token is acquired.

Weapons/Abilities
Soup Ladle - Gruel can use its ladle (categorized as a "Melee & Ranged" weapon) as a melee weapon while also throwing soup at enemies. It can also be used to do a special jump like Happy99's rocket launcher when aimed downwards. Soup Ladle attacks have a 2 second cooldown (cooldown is increased to 4 seconds when aimed downwards). When used as a melee weapon, the ladle deals 24-28 damage. When used as a ranged weapon, the soup projectiles deal 12-14 damage and have a splash radius of 10 studs.

Soup Pulse - Gruel has the ability to release a cloud of evaporated soup that regenerates the health of allies who step inside.
 * Soup Pulse draws from a resource called a "soup meter." The meter indicates how much soup Gruel is currently holding at the moment. Once Soup Pulse is used, it slowly uses up the meter until it's dry.
 * The meter can be lowered by taking damage, but can be refilled overtime or by 1/4 via using a Program Heart.
 * Once the meter is full, the soup in Gruel's head starts to bubble as an indicator.

Alternate Types
There are alternate types of Gruels other than the default type.
 * Utopia (Hummingbird)
 * Holly
