Spawning

The ovamorph has three primary ways of spawning depending on the settings in the configuration file.

• Natural spawning
• World Generation
• Queen Generation

Natural Spawning:

When natural spawning is turned on in the configuration ovamorphs will spawn on resin blocks inside of a hives radius as long as the hive is alive. This setting is on by default.

World Generation:

There are several structures in the world that have ovamorphs inside.

Queen Generation

When a Queen spawns an eggsack she will being to produce ovamorphs in a 20 block radius around her. These will carry her genetic information as well.

Behavior

Ovamorphs will remain still staying secured to the ground with resin. While secure they cannot be pushed even by water. If a player right clicks on a ovamorph with sheers it will release the resin holding it, allowing it to be moved but be careful. When a viable host bumps or touches an ovamorph it will trigger it to open, when this occurs a facehugger is spawned and will attempt to attach to the closest host it can find. When damaged an ovamorph will bleed acid.

Variants

Due to the Xenomorphs adaptive nature there isn't just one type of ovamorph or caste of the creatures. Below is the various types of ovamorphs, their differences, and how to obtain them.

Nether Ovamorph

This type of ovamorph is found in Nether Wastes and in Crimson Forests. With natural spawning turned on the eggs will appear throughout the biomes, otherwise you will need to find them by locating a queen. The coloring of the ovamorph adapted to resemble gilded blackstone in order to attract their most common host piglins. When damaged they also bleed acid however their acid is blue and catches fire when exposed to the air.

Aberrant Ovamorph

This type of ovamorph can only be obtained through special means. You will need to apply Poison Jelly to a Royal Ovamorph. Once applied the egg will become corrupted forever changing it into a Aberrant Royal Ovamorph, assuming it then finds a host it will become a queen and then through her you can obtain this rare ovamorph. All things considered the xenomorphs from these eggs are weaker than the standard strain but present certain benefits to an intelligent player.

Drops

Ovamorphs will drop Resin Balls when right clicked with sheers.
