OVERHAUL: Pure White Latex (Hivemind) [OPEN FOR COMMENT]

Nobody has claimed this yet.

## Environment

- [ ] Remodel and rework white latex pillar

Will no longer be a pre-placed trap block, but will instead be a weapon used by the white latex when chasing a transfurable entity. The block needs a remodel to better resemble the size seen in Changed.

- [x] White latex "flora"

## Transfur Variants

- [ ] Collapse pure white latex transfur variants into one: "will of white latex"

Since the pure white latex is a hivemind, you are not necessarily one entity among other white latexes, rather you are all one entity. You control whole areas covered by your presence.

A player in the default state of this variant will be a sort of spectator mode, a floating camera that can only travel in proximity to white latex.

- [ ] Ability: create wall

Create a white latex wall or pillar that will serve as an obstacle to trap and transfur enemies.

- [ ] Ability: make form

Shape an NPC white latex entity out surrounding white latex to chase transfurable entities. They'll exist for a limited duration, then they'll deform to nearby white latex.

- [ ] Ability: take form

Shape a white latex entity that you control directly. It has unlimited duration, but gradually loses strength when not in proximity to white latex. This ability should be used to personally chase a transfurable entity, or to spread white latex out further.

White latex forms can merge together into one larger and stronger entity (behemoth).

For any given area of white latex, one or more players can be present to control it. If multiple players control one area, they share ability cooldowns. If no players are present to use abilities, an AI (no not that kind of AI) will control the abilities.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points and presents a broad overhaul rather than a bounded task. Start by clarifying which checklist item is in scope and how the white latex abilities, forms, AI control, and shared cooldowns should be evaluated; done criteria are not yet defined.
