Name and Designation: Matango Bomb
Type: Biological Weapon with nano bots.
Purpose: Mutate victims into easily controlled, but hideous humanoid mushroom creatures.
Dimensions:
HT: 2 meters in diameter, is sphere shaped.
WT: 1 ton.
Speed: N/A
Description:
A sphere shaped olive green bomb that releases the spores of the Matango fungus into the air when it detonates. Those that land on moist ground or rotting trees quickly grow into mushrooms. If a human ingests these spores or consume one of the mushrooms, they quickly and painfully mutate into a hideous mushroom like humanoid creature that is easily controlled by the Sporzaw.
Production History: A biological weapon recently developed by Sporzaw scientists, this device has been on the drawing boards for years. Unlike most Sporzaw weapons, this device doesn't kill it's victims, it alters them. The Matango fungus itself is native to Ivus IV and originally it was a colonial organism with a collective consciousness. Animals would eat the fungus and then mutate into a Matango which would become part of a single minded consciousness.
Over many years and trials, the Sporzaw genetically manipulated the fungus, making it's spores capable of causing mutation so that victims didn't need to eat the fungus to mutate creating a far more potent strain. The Sporzaw also genetically weakened the Matango's cognitive abilities disabling their ability to form a hive while at the same time, making them easily controlled through simple mental commands.To enable the Sporzaw to control them, each spore contains a nanobot that attaches to the victimes brain and receives radio waves on an encrypted frequency. The device then imputs signals into the victims brain, making them do what the Sporzaw wish. The result is an insidious weapon that enslaves it's victims rather than kill them.
