CLIMB X3
When moving up or down levels of terrain, an Imperium Symbiote may triple its height.
HOST-JUMPING 14
When an Imperium Symbiote is destroyed, before removing it from the battlefield, choose an enemy Common or Unique figure within 3 clear sight spaces that is not an Android, Construct, or Symbiote and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 14 or higher and the chosen figure is a Common or Squad figure, the Imperium Symbiote is not destroyed. Destroy the chosen figure instead and replace it with the Imperium Symbiote. If you roll 14 or higher and the chosen figure is a Unique Hero, place that Imperium Symbiote on that Hero's Army Card. A Unique Hero with an Imperium Symbiote on its card has the species of Symbiote in addition to what is listed on its card, and gains the Super Strength special power.
SYMBIOTE HIVEMIND
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with the Imperium Symbiotes, you may do one of the following:
-move any two Symbiotes you control that have not moved this turn.
-attack with any one Symbiote you control that has not attacked this turn.
-take temporary control of an enemy Hero with an Imperium Symbiote on its card and take an immediate turn with that Hero.

__________________________________________________________ Bio - The symbiotes were originally created by the elder god Knull to drag the universe back into the void, and they conquered entire civilizations under his banner. But when Knull was defeated by Thor and his connection to the symbiotes was severed, they rebelled. They imprisoned Knull and formed a benevolent organization known as the Agents of the Cosmos.
Unfortunately for the cosmos, bonding with a malevolent host could easily cause a symbiote to return to its old ways. Many symbiotes regressed and reproduced, quickly out-numbering the good-natured symbiotes. This aggressive strand recreated Knull's Symbiote Imperium and became feared throughout the galaxy. The Imperium is known to overrun entire civilizations, use their populace as host bodies, and steal their technology to attack other worlds.

Mild refactor on these guys. Simplified the climbing stuff in exchange for complicating Symbiote Hivemind slightly. Basically reworked it so that they can't just auto-take control if they happen to be up against an enemy figure that happens to be a symbiote. Felt wrong for an enemy Venom to be that much of a joiner. Also made it so they're not a full bonding squad for Unique Symbiote Heroes, since most of those guys aren't really Symbiote-Faction types.
Also updated a couple aspects of Host-Jumping to be more consistent with our just-the-symbiote Venom card.

When a Squad you control uses the Symbiote Hivemind special power, you may use all three options and then you may take a turn with Knull. You may not take any additional turns.
UMBRAKINETIC ASSAULT SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 3. Attack 6.
After attacking with this special attack, you may attack with it up to three additional times. Knull cannot attack the same figure twice in one turn, and can target non-adjacent figures even if he is engaged.
SYMBIOTE CREATION
At the end of each round, you may roll the 20-sided die for each destroyed Common Symbiote in your army. If you roll 18 or higher, place that Symbiote on an empty space adjacent to Knull.

He saw the works of the Celestials as a gross intrusion, and created the symbiotes to wage war on those gods trying to fill his precious void with light and life.

And a more-significant refactor on Knull. My last take did a lot of the same stuff as the symbiote generics, but in slightly different ways. Wanted to rework that a bit to make the two write-ups go more hand-in-hand. Also wanted him to feel Event-ier. Maybe too much? Not sure.
Anyway he's the main antagonist of an event in a couple months, so that might still shape what we want to do here. He's popped up enough in the run-up to said event that I feel comfortable with the main character beats, though.
