Toxicites

Toxicites are the foot soldiers of the Alchemist.

Description
The Toxicites were originally civilians, but converted into unintelligent Toxicites when struck with small black pods. They are all-black, shiny humanoids, with webbed, clawed hands, wide insect-like eyes, and mouths full of white fangs. They generate a black ooze and can either convert other civilians into their fellows or use it like Spider-man's webbing. They spend most of their time as small black pods, which when thrown onto the ground transform into them. When destroyed, they collapse into black goo.

Trivia

 * The Toxicites are visually based off of the Spider-man villain, Venom, and a remnant from the proto-Mesozoic Giants fic that never really came together right.
