Traumatized Watcher Behavior

Makes Watcher act like a traumatized slugcat horrified by the strange things he sees.

Update 0.0.6: The Watcher is no longer a dependency; this mod can be configured to apply to any slugcat. Slugcats are now afraid of iterators. Added options to allow Watcher to freeze when frightened, instead of running away.

This mod was inspired by my controller glitching out in coincidentally creepy experiences, and I thought the effect was an awesome mechanic in the DLC (until I realized it was joystick drift, lol).

Note: This makes the Watcher slightly harder to control, especially in dangerous moments. You can tone down the effect in the config menu if you find it excessive.

Full feature list:
* Forces semi-random inputs if the slugcat is scared. The inputs are biased to make the slugcat run away from the danger.
* The slugcat calms down over time.
* The slugcat visibly shakes when scared.
* The slugcat blinks erratically when scared.
* The slugcat can hyperventilate after escaping a severe danger.
* The effect applies to Watcher and Slugpups by default, but can be applied to any slugcat in the config menu.
* The Watcher is afraid of: Echoes, Rot, Distortions/weird effects and lightning, Dangerous creatures in general (to a lesser degree), and Sudden sounds.
