Specimen 7 rechasing and chasing with other specimens in Endless Mode
I'm assuming this has gotten suggested and denied before, but in case it hasn't, I'm here to do so.

With the 2021 Halloween Update, Specimen 7 is now the only Specimen in Endless that doesn't rechase. This always made sense to me for the same reason that Specimen 13 not rechasing made sense: the Specimen has special room layouts that makes its chase what it is, so throwing it into normal room layouts wouldn't make sense and be unfair. But if Specimen 13 can rechase and chase with other specimens by simply bringing in her specialized room layouts, what's wrong with Specimen 7 doing so in Endless? Given its very slow speed, it'd likely be entirely fair with basically any specimen. And even if it wasn't (I could see Specimen 10 and Monster 6 causing some problems), the attack damage could be reduced to 60 or 70 or something in Endless, so that being hit is still heavily punishing but not immediately run ending. It likely wouldn't require resetting the leader boards, even.

Granted, it being this inconsequential may make it seem weird that I'm suggesting it at all, but I like having as much variety as possible and absolutely adore Specimen 7. It'd be nice for its encounter to feel like something big has happened, like your Endless run has changed forever now, instead of a forgettable footnote in your Endless conquest.

If it did get rechase potential, I think it should do a big ol' chunk of damage like you said, but once it hits you in a room it despawns. That way you don't just get sandwiched and killed by it and have a chance to recover from the single hit.

Ooh, that'd be interesting. It'd also give S7 a unique(ish) mechanic, especially if it moved a bit faster in Endless or something.

Specimen 7 needs:
-A game over screen
-A 3d Model for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Cat
-A rechase / rework on its gameplay

Well the devs are working on replacing ALL of the 2D sprites with 3D models (other than Whiteface I'm assuming) right now, but the other two would be nice as well
