Add the following to the list of Inactive Traits:

Savage Fangs
Cost: 30 DNA Points, 2 Complexity
Requirements: Facial Features 4
Effect: A Lifeform with this trait gains 1 on it’s Fight roll when Hunting. Also, if it’s Hunt is successful, the hunting creature gains an additional 5 DNA points.

Telepathy
Cost: 60 DNA Points, 3 Complexity
Requirements: Brain Size 4
Effect: Often, a Lifeform with this trait may reduce the energy of another Lifeform by 1. This may cause that Lifeform’s energy value to be set to a negative number.

Rapid Mutation
Cost: 40DNA Points, 1 Complexity
Requirements: None
Effect: When upgrading, prior to paying the DNA cost of the new Trait, this Lifeform may choose a number X. Then, they roll DICEY in the GNDT, where Y is their Unique Ability variable. The comments of that post to the GNDT should include the following text: “Chosen Number: X” (replacing X with your chosen number). If the result is greater than or equal to X then the cost to upgrade the Trait is reduced by X*5 DNA points (to a minimum of 0). If the result is less than X, then the Lifeform loses X Nourishment.

Requirements: Facial Features 2, Appendages 4
Effect: This creature gains an additional 1 Nourishment on a successful Forage attempt.

Steam Bladder
