Nekroles

• Micro — low-visibility propagation, surface symptoms, localized drift.
• Macro — visible morphology, persistent structures, biomass rewriting.
• Invasive — host involvement, aggressive integration, vector behavior.
• Symbiotic — stabilized presence, long-term persistence, “habitation” states.

• Grade 1 — emerging influence; symptoms intermittent; containment plausible.
• Grade 2 — stable influence; self-reinforcement; human adaptation begins.
• Grade 3 — environmental authority; terminal convergence; outcome events likely.

Terrain depressions and sinkholes create an efficient propagation trap. Spore release increases after collapse events. Spores preferentially settle below threshold elevation and temperature, ensuring dense recirculation within newly formed voids.

Methane venting warms lower layers, enabling exponential development with depth.

Spontaneous biome adaptation has been observed on timescales as small as eight hours. Stable geological influence zones exist, but most colonies trend toward full environmental assimilation and control.
