Archite

Name	Description	Metabolism	Complexity
Gene Implanter	Carriers of this gene can implant a copy of their xenogerm into another person through a somewhat gross-looking injector organ. Their own genetic material will then regrow very slowly. If they implant while their genes are regrowing, they will die.	0	3

Ability

Name	Description	Metabolism	Complexity
Acid Spray	Carriers grow glands in the neck that generate and store a sticky acid substance, along with acid-tolerant tissues in the mouth. They can spew this acid over an area, where it will stick to enemies and burn them over time.	-2	1
