@jakemorph ohhhh thank you for sharing those articles!! blood caste possibly being linked to troll sex makes me think about the drones blood color? they seem really important to troll society (on alternia at least) but they aren't on earth C, but then again that might be because troll reproduction there has mostly been ectobiology, or possibly a conscious effort to prevent drones from hatching.

I guess I was thinking more that it's weird that SGRUB can just. alter the player's genetics like that outside of self-prototyping. god tier did heal all injuries, so maybe it is the reverse and they are born with wings? it would also be kind of funny if SGRUB just... decided that godtier trolls should have wings. as a treat.

@a1m3v that tracks with irl insect queens very rarely leaving their colony/hive/nest, the biggest instance of queens moving is usually when a young/virgin queen goes to start her own colony. I imagine the mother grub wouldn't have much reason to go outside if it is being taken care of workers/jades all the time.

that makes me wonder how many mother grubs there are? or were i guess before alternia exploded. and how long are their lifespans? would it be the same as a jadeblood lifespan?

@elegantSpinstress agree with your theory and also that would make so much sense as to how Tab Soda is so popular with trolls-- it's sweet, but it has no sugar. as the paradox space comic SummerTeen Romance puts it, it is essentially Drugs Branded Soda.
