Infected Calcite (Marshy)

Infected Calcite is a Gemsona made by Silk.

Personality
Before going to Sporarum, Bumblebee Jasper was a gentle, loving soul, and never stung a single person, not even just because it would kill her. However, after a few days of being on Sporarum, liom changed; liom started growing fungal infections that controlled lim mind. Liom became destructive, predatory (feeding on lim friend´s eyes and gem because liom thought she was prey). Lim stings became more abundant, and no longer costed lim life.

Appearance
Infected Calcite has a large, white mushroom growing from lim head. Lim eyes are completely dark. On lim back, liom has two net-like wings. Liom grows mold on lim body. Like a bee, lim body is divided into three segments: the head, a thorax, and an abdomen. On lim abdomin, liom grows stool mushrooms. And the feet that formerly resembled large shoes, are now replaced with a devil´ś tooth-like fungus. Finally, on lim gem is a cordyceps-like mushroom growing out of it.

Weapons & Abilities
Infected Calcite cannot fuse, shapeshift, nor produce light from her Gem (however, the mushrooms on her body do glow in the dark.)

Unique Abilities

 * Sting: Infected Calcite can produce a harsh, poisonous sting mutliple times.
 * Weak flight: Infected Calcite can fly, but only for short distances, and a few feet above ground. This is because lim wings were replaced with nets.

Trivia

 * Infected Calcite´s Gem type and fungal infections were inspired by parasitic fungi (such as cordycps) that use insects as hosts.
