'''Calico''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]'', a former monster hunter turned hired assassin. Possessing her cat, Ava, Calico uses the shadows to her advantage to surprise her foes, slinging Gloom Bombs and attacking with a Leaping Slash for damage and healing. By Returning to the Shadows, she can turn any fight to her advantage, disappearing after a fight or engaging again when the enemy least expects her.

* Clicking Mouse 1 makes Ava meow.

* Ava can enter [[vents]] in the map. If Ava's duration runs out in a space too small to transform back, Calico can activate the transformation and be pushed to the nearest walkable area. If she does not transform, she starts rapidly taking damage until she leaves the space.

* Calico used to work with {{HeroIcon|Grey Talon}} in the Baxter Society.
