Infects any enemy that passes over you, and deals 100% damage per second to that enemy in 12 half-second ticks, the first of which is instant, for a total of 5.5 seconds. The effect of this item bounces to other enemies and refreshes duration if the victim dies. The cooldown is 5.5 seconds.

- Order Details :  Extremely interesting species found on OMEGA-19. Resembles a worm, snake, or limbless lizard. Seems to exude poison from its glands, so much that the 'worm' can't even contain it in its mouth. May be a strain of stomach parasites found on other planets, but obviously much larger and deadlier. I hope you find some interesting knowledge from this species; it killed 16 of our workers alone. It also seemed to give offspring every time, but we only found 13. Please respond quickly.
