Semi-Mature Stage In the semi mature stage the Marksvine is finally able to defend itself. However, it is still growing, and so cannot devote as much to its fire-power than its final stage. It makes up for this reduced dakka by making every shot count with a longer 'mouth', and shoots a single, long ranged, well-aimed seed. Needless to say, it is rooted into the ground and cannot move. Final Stage A fully matured Marksvine has one job, and one job alone. And that is to spread its seed. It's therefore no surprise that when challenged it is able to spit out high velocity seeds at a rapid pace. Any seed that manages to latch onto a living thing is likely to sap its energy for a moment or so to kick-start its new life (shots have a small chance of causing health drain).
