Parasite
Abbreviation: PRST
Form: Liquid
Description: Parasite. Feeds on destructible solids until they break.
Colour: HEX(#476391) / rgb(71, 99, 145)
Purpose: Parasite is just like Virus, but where Virus turns any destructible material into more Virus, Parasite wraps around whatever it touches. It then takes the properties of the destructible material it's touching and uses them for its own survival.
Properties by itself:
1. Parasite will deteriorate without a host. If it's on top of a powder, liquid, or indesctructible material, it'll die out quite quickly.
2. Parasite has a state temperature of 0C.
3. Parasite has a set one life per pixel. It's life does not combine if there are two pixels of it drawn.
4. Parasite does not exert pressure on the destructible solid it touches.
5. Parasite is a heavy liquid. More dense than mercury.
Reactions:
1. When Parasite touches a destructible solid, it takes that solid's temperature on top of its own.
2. Every pixel of Parasite feeds and gains one life per second when touching a destructible solid. For a pixel to gain a life, it has to be touching a pixel of the destructible solid.
3. Parasite, in a means to protect itself, covers every square inch of itself with yeast. The yeast will then expand when exposed to heat, further shielding the Parasite of harm.
4. When exposed to cold flame, Parasite will slowly die away, but the body it inhabited will corrode.
5. If exposed to any form of heat, the body Parasite is attached to will not melt. Instead, Parasite will gain an additional life per second, per pixel, every second when exposed to the heat source.
6. If Virus comes in contact with Parasite, a tiny bout of flame will erupt and destroy the body Parasite once inhabited. With the Virus and Parasite's host gone, Parasite will begin to die out. Each pixel will lose one of their lives per second until each one is gone.
I don't think this will be added, but sounds a little weird. Interesting though.

I really like this idea! Why do I get the feeling that jacob1 is missing out all of the GOOD ideas...
Because complex ideas are awfully hard to integrate, and with the man's schedule and his little time to update the game, it means complex ideas may never be added.
As it stands, my ideas would need many replies and positive feedback. Unfortunately, I get some replies and some positive feedback. Ergo, my ideas won't ever be added, and if they were to be, it'd be jacob1 spiting these words, or they were turned into a mod.
