The dermis of these biohunters has been adapted to subtly alter hue according to what the ocular receptors of the prey expect to see, thus hiding the creatures even in plain sight.

Encircling Horrors (Upgrade)

20 pts

By the time the prey realise that they are being hunted, the Hive Mind’s vanguard organisms have already enfolded them in a murderous embrace. There is no hiding from what comes next.
