Spore Soldier
A spore soldier is a trained soldier taken by the Bloom, and it keeps the combat drill that most shambling Bloom thralls lack. Fruiting bodies grow up through the scalp and down one arm. It keeps its uniform and its plasma blaster and fights from cover. Federation units have met their own dead in the field as spore soldiers.
