    Implant: A xill that deals injury with a bite attack can inject an egg pellet into the opponent’s body. The affected creature must make a successful HT-3 roll to avoid implantation. Often the xill implants an unconscious or otherwise helpless creature. The egg gestates for 90 days, then the host takes 2d toxic damage each hour for 13 cycles. Each cycle allows an additional HT-3 roll that prevents any further damage and destroys the egg pellet. Once the host loses 1/2 of their HP to this effect, they begin experiencing terrible pain (p. B428) until they heal above that threshold. Once the host loses 2/3 of their HP to this effect, they begin experiencing agony (p. B428) until they heal above that threshold. The egg pellet can be removed with a successful Surgery roll (failure deals 1d-1 injury), or a Cure Disease spell cast at a -5 penalty. If the host dies to this effect, the egg hatches into a xill that eats its way out.
    Planewalk (10): The xill can slip into the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane and the other way around as per Jumper (p. B64).
