If you end up being grabbed by the collector with your tadpole or seafrog, then you can flash your lights into its eye for a chance at getting away, like real life if you hold a flashlight to your eye then turn it on, you’re gonna react and be irritated. The collector would learn from this so it would less grab you since it knows it can lead to being flashed, if you are in the sea frog then you can also jab its eye for a sightly longer escape. This would also give the collector a sense of memory / smartness since it learns from past experience with the player and the tadpole / seafrog.
deth also said it would be funny.
