Personality

When there’s something Kudzu wants, they are tenacious and unstoppable in their attempts to acquire it. Obstacles are meant to be overcome, and losses only see them surging back twice as determined as before. They are aptly named, for they do not mind if innocents are smothered in their path towards triumph. Only their own large family matters.

Abilities

ACID IMMUNITY

Invulnerability to acids.

BLIGHT PLANTS

The ability to rapidly corrupt plants around them, warping them into thorny and poisonous varieties intolerable to most other species. Primarily used for defensive barriers or otherwise booby-trapping their territory, and works much more efficiently and on a larger scale than innate corruption.

CORRUPTION POWERS

Mastery over the corruption of anything around them, organic, inorganic, and magical alike. Balespawn will actively corrupt other creatures to serve them, to punish them, or simply because they find it an aesthetic improvement. If a Balespawn corrupts another creature to the point that it is no longer recognizable in any way as their original species, it may be called a “Bane”. In terminology, corruption and blight may be used interchangeably. The corruptive essences of Balespawn are so powerful that their constant presence in an area will passively corrupt their entire territory.

IMMORTALITY

The cessation of physical aging upon reaching maturity and possession of eternal life thereafter. Can still be killed by lethal injuries.

MINDSTREAM COMMUNICATION

The ability to communicate with all other xeno-kind in existence.

PLANT ANIMATION

The ability to exert direct control over their corrupted plants and grant them rapid movement, such as to wrap vines around an enemy or to fling thorns at them.

PLANT SPEAK

The ability to communicate with blighted plants, turning their thorny fortifications into vigilant watchmen to help protect their homes and hives.

REALM TRAVELING

Above and beyond simple teleportation, Balespawn have the ability to realm-travel and cross into dimensions separated from the Nexus by more than mere space and time.

RESIN SECRETION

The ability to produce a hard, glossy resin that can be used as a building material.

SIZE SHIFTING

Balespawn can freely change their physical size. Mostly this ability is used to be larger than any creature around them, but it is also useful for accommodating to mates of various sizes.

TELEPATHY

The ability to speak mind-to-mind.

TELEPORTATION

The ability to teleport anywhere within sight or that can be strongly visualized in the mind.

VERBAL SPEECH

The ability to communicate in spoken words.

WALL CLIMBING
