Broodspawn Mutations by Race

Appearance: Their crimson skin blackens with molten cracks; horns twist into draconic ridges; their eyes burn with both demonic fire and dragon-ichor glow. Their veins leak embers instead of simple light.
Powers:
- Hybridize draconic vampirism + infernal magic.
- They no longer need “willing shells” to anchor — ichor locks them fully into the material plane.
- Fire blood: any wound they suffer sprays searing ichor that burns like napalm.
Drawback: Their infernal lineage fights the ichor constantly. Some implode in the rite. Survivors are rare and unstable — prone to feral rages.
Xandros (if turned): Would become a walking paradox — a Chaotic Good Draconic Demon Prince. Both feared and despised, he might actually be immune to Sovereign command (dragon blood and demon royalty canceling each other out).

Appearance: Their crystalline bones become prismatic draconic plating; veins glow like compressed stars; their scales ripple with shifting gravitational halos.
Powers:
- Can condense dragon-blood energy into localized black hole flickers (crushing claws, singularity shockwaves).
- Their ichor-fed muscles resonate gravitational pulses, making every step quake like tectonic shifts.
- Could create “gravity prisons” to hold enemies suspended mid-air.
Drawback: Their energetic drain triples. Feeding doesn’t just mean blood — they hunger for massive amounts of matter/energy, becoming black-hole addicts who can collapse entire city blocks when starving.

Appearance: Tiny scaled humanoids with wings of vapor, veins like liquid silver threads, and claws so fine they can cut atoms. When moving, they blur like heat-haze.
Powers:
- Their ichor resonates with their natural agility — they move faster than perception.
- Can phase through droplets of blood as if teleporting, using it as a network of micro-gates.
- Swarm tactics: a single Zenith Broodspawn could assassinate an entire room of armored soldiers in seconds.
Drawback: Their size means they’re incredibly fragile to direct hits. They rely on speed and stealth. Most ancients dismiss them as “gnats”… until one cuts their throat.

Appearance: Their golden undertone shifts to molten scarlet, veins glowing like eclipsed suns. In scaled form, they radiate solar flares mixed with ichor glow.
Powers:
- Teleports through beams of light — strobing between shadows and sunlight.
- Can inject dragon-blood into radiant blasts, making them burn like corrosive plasma.
- Females: immune to both radiant and fire → could duel even dragonfire Sovereigns.
Drawback: Their Solar Node overloads in long darkness. Without feeding, they risk burnout seizures where their whole body explodes in uncontrolled radiant ichor.

🩸 Council Reaction (Meta-Lore)

The Council of Ancients would see each race-turned-Broodspawn as both a weapon and a threat.
Demonspawn-Brood: Dangerous abominations. Too volatile. Most culled on sight, except for rare survivors.
Half-Javoran-Brood: Revered as “God-Slayers in Waiting.” A potential trump card, but hard to control.
Zenith-Brood: Spies and assassins, deployed as unseen daggers of the Council.
Solari-Brood: Both feared and coveted. A Solari ancient could rival an actual Sovereign Dragon if they matured.

⚔️ Basically: dragon ichor amplifies what’s already there. Every race mutates differently, becoming a new breed of monster.
