Notes[]
- While not mentioned, the skin also comes with the Reshef Vipaza, an auxiliary slot attachment similar to a loin cloth.
- Metal spikes resembling the armor pieces Nidus gains with Mutation stacks can be seen on
Virulence's fungal growth and Larva. - Nidus Phryke gains armor the more Mutation Stacks he has:

- At 5 stacks, a large curved blade appears on each of the shoulder pad spikes.
- At 7 stacks, his forearms are lined with a curved blade that extends two large spikes.
- At 10 stacks, his face becomes covered with a visor.
