Whenever an enemy dies, transfer any Poison it has to a random enemy.

Can only be obtained as the Silent.

With Snecko Skull, 1 additional Poison will be added during the transfer.

If an enemy is killed by poison damage, the transferred poison will not deal damage this turn (regardless of what order enemies are in). If an enemy is killed by an attack which would also cause poison (due to Poisoned Stab or Envenom), that poison is not transferred.

The Specimen is a Rare Relic.

Trivia[]

  • The Specimen is a reference to Kaiman from the manga Dorohedoro.
