Spore Ettin v3
Spore Ettins colonise new areas via microscopic airborne zoospores.
These settle and produce a network of hyphae (fungal thread) called the Spore Mother.
The Spore Mother then extracts nutrients from the surroundings1.
Eventually when it reaches a certain size, it begins producing eggs from it's cache of dDNA.
When a breed of ettin that has not been sampled by the Spore Mother walks on her,
it takes a dDNA sample which is mixed with the existing samples in the next batch of ettins2.
It
also grows hormone sensors, and if the local ettin population
is below five,
it will stimulate some of it's eggs to mature and hatch into new baby
ettins.
Of
course to complete the cycle, when the eggs hatch they
also release a cloud of spores.
To avoid overpopulation, unrequired eggs are reabsorbed before
maturation.

The new version can eat food touching the Spore other's hyphae, she doesn't eat honey, but she does love hooch!
She also sampled Denali Ettin dDNDA, which replaced Bean's ettins
She also sampled Minim ettins, which she has recruited as her sterile workers, they are born in pairs
Finally she managed to sample some Rainbow Fey from whom she took their superior Rainbow Feliz genome to be her default genome.

Spore Ettin v2
>>> DOWNLOAD NOW <<<
Don't worry, only one Spore
Mother is installed,
and she won't produce new colonies (maybe in a later version she will).
Note that uninstalling
The Spore Mother will not remove any resident mature ettins from
the world.
You need not install any
of the breeds below, all necessary files are in the download.
Full credit goes to the
creators of the various breeds.

1 This is just a fanciful thing, don't worry your Spore Mother will not require feeding.
2 Again, this is a fancy. I may release a new version at some point that can do this.

I tried to keep the genomes nearest to those used by the original
breeds.
RHE stands for Red Happy Eater (followed by the version number). Flam
refers to the
Flame ettin genome.
