Assimilates
[Entry-08: Assimilates] Assimilates are a byproduct of the disease, only forming once vessel decomposition has been finalized. The disease will go on to reconstruct a vessel with the materials provided by both the host body and surrounding environment. Assimilates lack consistency in their appearance on all metrics—as a matter of fact, its only consistent quality is the makeup of the vessels foundation. While viscous in nature, it is essential to remember that the disease is highly intelligent; sculpting a vessel perfectly suited for not only its environment but capture of preferred prey. It learns and adapts, adjusting its vessel accordingly to cope with external stimuli. As a result, assimilates come with an abundance of diverse body plans ranging from quick and nimble to stout and durable.
