Meeting the Neighbours

I had killed enough of the worm creatures to gain an attribute, but somehow their icky worm bodies didn't appeal to me at all. 

Of the few skills they had, some like [Echolocation] and [Corrosive Acid] had some appeal, as did [Exoskeleton], but I was pretty sure my inbuilt wasp's exoskeleton combined with [Meteor Scales] was far superior to that of a mere worm, so I didn't really bother.

Others like [Regurgitation] and [Egg Laying] were completely repulsive. Why did I need to lay eggs when I already had enough pesky brats? And I'm pretty sure my snake race already had that 'skill', if not, how else did I come to be…oh.

Did that mean I could also lay eggs? Was I in a horror movie?

I imagined a bunch of little metallic purple snakes, bursting out of a million eggs with their obsidian horns, to bite unsuspecting human faces like those horrible face hugger creatures.

Oh no no no no. Fire was the only solution!
