'''Crewmates''', also known as '''Crewmembers''' or the '''Crew''', are one of the possible randomly assigned [[roles]] in ''[[Among Us]]''.

== Goals ==
The goal of a Crewmate is to complete all [[tasks]] without being [[kill]]ed by an [[Impostor]] or finding all Impostors and [[eject]]ing them. Crewmates who have been killed by an Impostor or ejected become [[ghost]]s or [[Guardian Angel]].

== Abilities ==
=== Report ===
{{Main|Report}}
A Crewmate can use the [[report]] ability to report a [[dead body]] and bring the entire Crew and all [[Impostor]]s into an [[emergency meeting]] to discuss who The Impostor may be. Impostors also have this ability. The report button appears to the left of the [[use]] button.

=== Use ===
{{Main|Use}}
A Crewmate can [[use]] for a variety of interactions. The most common interaction is to activate and complete [[tasks]]. Crewmates can also use the [[emergency button]] to call an [[emergency meeting]] manually when possible. [[Impostor]]s also have use as an ability but cannot complete tasks with it. Use is in the bottom right corner of the screen, and can be replaced by [[Security (ability)|Security]], [[Admin (ability)|Admin]], [[Vitals]], or [[Doorlog]] when near the appropriate panel except on [[The Airship]], due to a bug.

== Death ==
{{Main|Kill}}

When An [[Impostor]] kills a Crewmate, their body drops to the ground, top half of the body is mysteriously missing and the bottom half of the body have a bone sticking out, and the Crewmate turns into a [[ghost]], appearing next to their [[Dead body|body]]. A Crewmate can freely move through walls in this state and can  complete tasks to help the Crewmates win. Ghosts can communicate at all times through the [[chat]], but their messages are only visible to other ghosts. They also cannot call [[emergency meeting]]s or resolve [[Sabotage]]s. Ghosts are not visible to players that are still alive.

Bodies of Crewmates will remain on the map until a body is [[report]]ed or a meeting is called. If a killed Crewmate has a [[pet]], it will stay on the spot they died. If a Crewmate that is ejected has a pet, it will stay next to the emergency meeting table.

== Variants ==
There are currently 5 variants of Crewmate special roles: Engineer, Scientist, Noisemaker, Tracker, and Guardian Angel (Dead)

=== Engineer ===
{{Main|Engineer}}
The '''Engineer''' is a Crewmate with additional ability, which is to use vent, however, they can only stay in a vent for about 30 seconds at a time by default (this can be changed in the role settings), and cannot use a vent if it is already being used for the [[Clean Vent]] task (although this doesn't prevent the vent system the said vent is connected to from being used). Engineers have the same goals and abilities as regular Crewmates.
=== Scientist ===
{{Main|Scientist}}
The '''Scientist''' is another variation of the Crewmate role. Scientists have the same abilities and goals as standard Crewmates, and have the unique ability to access portable [[Vitals]] at anytime to check crewmates' status, however, they can check the vitals for 5 seconds by default (adjustable in options).
=== Noisemaker ===
{{Main|Noisemaker}}
Another variation of the Crewmate role is the '''Noisemaker'''. It is the same as crewmate and has no new abilities, but if they get killed, players will know when and where they die.

=== Tracker ===
{{Main|Tracker (role)}}
Another variation of the Crewmate role is the '''Tracker'''. Crewmates with this role can track other crewmates, either to suspect them or clear them if a shapeshifter kills as them.

=== Guardian Angel ===
{{Main|Guardian Angel}}
A special variation of the [[Ghost]] Crewmate role is the '''Guardian Angel'''. Their job is to follow the impostors and press protect before an impostor kills them. If timed correctly, a shield will pop up and break, stopping the crewmate from dying. Impostors can see the shield break, but Crewmates can't. There is a customizable setting that lets the impostor see the mini angel circling around protected players to know not to attack them. Hitting a shield resets The Impostor's cooldown.

== Trivia ==
* On the Crewmate's back, there is a "backpack" that serves no clear use. While some believe that their packs are for oxygen, it does not appear to be the case because the [[Oxygen Depleted]] Sabotage causes The [[Impostor]]s to win. However, the backpacks may have a small amount of oxygen due to the 30 or 45 second countdown on The Skeld and MIRA HQ, respectively.
* When killed, Crewmates do not display any blood or internal organs in their death animations, though other players can see some blood spurting from the eliminated Crewmate's corpse, which is notably the same color as the eliminated Crewmate. The corpse consists of a large bone inside either hollow space or a gelatin-like substance that is darker than the player's color.
** The blood was temporarily removed in {{Version|2021.6.15}} before being restored in {{Version|2021.11.9}}.
*** Before its temporary removal, the blood was a bright red rather than matching the color of the Crewmate.
* There is an in-game pet named the "[[Mini Crewmate (pet)|Mini Crewmate]]", which is a miniature version of a Crewmate.
[[File:Crewmate concepts.png|thumb|right|126x126px|The concepts for the Crewmate design.]]
* According to [[Marcus Bromander]], it did not take long to create the Crewmate design. The only other concepts were a version without a backpack, one resembling the Mini Crewmate, and one shaped like a star.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://twitter.com/PuffballsUnited/status/1313641137823903744|title = By the way, this is the only concept art of coming up with the crewmate design. We settled pretty fast.|site = Twitter|publisher = [[Marcus Bromander]]|date = October 7, 2020|access-date = November 30, 2020}}</ref> 
* The Crewmate's species is unknown. While at first glance they appear to be cartoonish humans in almost-featureless colored space suits, the [[MedBay]] scanner states the Crewmates are only three feet and six inches (approximately one meter) tall, much shorter than the average adult human. They still require oxygen to survive.
** Many official {{Iw|wp|Twitter}} posts from ''Among Us'' developers, as well as in-game details, disprove that Crewmates are humans.
** Their hands are also not visible when not in use and only show up in certain scenarios. They also lack arms, and their hands appear suspended in mid-air and can even appear and disappear at will.
* With a height of 3' 6" and a weight of 92 pounds, all Crewmates except [[Fortegreen]] have a BMI of 36.7. According to the {{Iw|wp|Centers for Disease Control and Prevention}}, this BMI equates to Class 2 obesity in humans, although the extra weight could be the spacesuit or just the healthy weight of the Crewmate's species.
** Fortegreen is also 3' 6" tall but has a weight of 132 pounds, which gives them a BMI of 52.6 and equates to Class 3 obesity in humans.
* Originally, the viewing visor would not be a baby blue like color in the beta version. Instead, it would be the same color as the suit.
* Several gaming websites criticize the Crewmate role, one of the ''Rock, Paper, Shotgun'', as Craig Pearson considered this role "exhausting." <ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/08/27/among-us-has-made-lying-murderer-out-of-me/|title = Among Us has made a lying murderer out of me|site = Rock, Paper, Shotgun|publisher = Craig Pearson|date = August 27, 2020|access-date = September 27, 2020}}</ref>
* The skeletal anatomy of a Crewmate is made up of a single femur-shaped bone, according to the ''Among Us'' developers' Twitter account and their appearance upon death.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://twitter.com/PuffballsUnited/status/1321575288975732741|title = bone|site=Twitter|publisher = PuffballsUnited|date = October 28, 2020|access-date = November 22, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url = https://twitter.com/AmongUsGame/status/1351249311380758530|title = you may not like it but this is what peak anatomy looks like|site = Twitter|publisher = AmongUsGame|date = January 18, 2021|access-date = January 19, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url = https://twitter.com/AmongUsGame/status/1398353487252103169|title = actual bean anatomy for reference|site = Twitter|publisher = AmongUsGame|date = May 28, 2021|access-date = May 29, 2021}}</ref>
[[File:How Crewmates eat.gif|250px|right|Frequently asked question: How do Crewmates eat?]]
* Across different [[locations]] and [[maps]], donuts and slices of pizza can be found, and The Airship features the [[Make Burger]] task, all implying that the Crewmates eat food of many varieties, although the specifics are never seen. It is known that their suits don't have openings and they do not eat with visible mouths.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://twitter.com/AmongUsGame/status/1333493752300703744|title = frequently asked question: how do Crewmates eat?|site=Twitter|publisher = AmongUsGame|date = November 30, 2020 2:30PM|access-date = November 30, 2020}}</ref> 
* Another tweet from the ''Among Us'' developers on Twitter says that Crewmates drink through osmosis.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://twitter.com/AmongUsGame/status/1333503336126046208|title = osmosis|site = Twitter|publisher = AmongUsGame|date = November 30, 2020|access-date = January 4, 2021}}</ref>
** Several drinks that Crewmates are known to drink are coffee and water as seen in [[Office]] on [[Polus]], soda and milk as seen in [[Buy Beverage]] on [[MIRA HQ]], soup as seen in [[Kitchen]] on [[The Airship]] and juice or punch as seen throughout ''Among Us''.
* A vending machine in Cafeteria on MIRA HQ shows that one Crewmate hobby is surfing. Additionally, several appliances on Polus show another hobby is watching movies.
* The language spoken by the Crewmates is unknown, but multiple English inscriptions are found across the maps, including the location indicators.
