Tier 2 Physical Upgrades:

Second tail: x

Glue spit: The hylax’s can now project a powerful adhesive.

Bigger legs: Hylax legs are now bigger, enabling them to make bigger jumps.

Tier 2 Host Symptoms:

Fear : Eggs now make host slightly paranoid of other humans and cause the host to become reclusive.

Maternal Instinct: x

Nursing: The larvae produce mass quantities of estrogen/growth hormone, causing the hosts breasts to visibly swell and produce large quantities of milk. The larvae regularly exit the womb to feed on its mother’s milk before returning to grow.

Tier 2 Infectivity Upgrades:

Double breeding: x

Live larvae: The Hylax young are already in the larval state when implanted in the host, reducing gestation time (and speeding up any hormonal effects)

Since Amora the Enchantress is a person with a superhuman ability, the Hylax can take it as his own. This new trait will be passed on to all of its descendants.

Illusion: The Hylax can now change the appearances of objects. The illusion will last until it dispells it or loses consciousness.

Teleport: The Hylax learn the ability to teleport a short distance.

Paradigm Shift – Dense Tissue:

Since Amora is not a human but an Asgardian, the Hylax she carries draw from her Asgardian DNA and increase the density of the tissue that makes up their bodies. This causes them to become highly resistant to damage, making it practically impossible to break them. Only the hardest weapons or most powerful being in existence are now able to damage them.

These Hylax are easily recognizable by their new blue color whereas their normal bretheren remain green.
