page about the playable race created when kudzu absorbs bodies
titles are very WIP
also I have no idea whether to link to the Random Events or Syndicate Items section on kudzu 

let the reader beware: this is based off on info right from the first round it was released, and some info may change in the future

Spawning

I have a feeling these times will be adjusted in the future
Note to self: include more plant-sounding terms
What happens if you become a kudzuperson while blind/deaf?
I wonder what happens if you set a cocoon or bulb on fire. 

When there's a corpse on a kudzu tile, the kudzu will convert it into a vine cocoon after about half minute. Not too long after, the cocoon will bloom into a bulb, which will then open shortly after, spewing out a new half-naked kudzuperson. Most of their old clothes will be spat onto the floor, though the kudzu person will still have the items they were wearing in the eye, mask, ear, and back slots when they died. The cocoon and bulb can be broken with blunt force, freeing the corpse.

Traits

What happens when they interact with the Cap's bonzai?

Kudzupeople are much like regular people; they can interact with items and objects as normal, are still affected by chems, all that jazz. However, they're different in a few ways:

• Can breath in Space, Seafloor, and other oxygen-less environments.
• Show up as "Unknown" upon Examine and mouse-over.
• Can move through dense kudzu.
• Low stamina: only 100 max stamina and 5 stamina regen.
• Slightly slower (about 10% less than base) movement speed.
• Take BURN damage and are significantly slowed down when not over kudzu tiles; one minute of not being over kudzu can send you into critical condition.

Rules

Kudzupeople aren't antags and thus shouldn't randomly kill people, destroy the station, or otherwise commit Grief, but they can still fight people who try to harm them or the kudzu. They should really focus on spreading kudzu and being in harmony with the environment, including the non-kudzu parts. If they have to fight, it should be out of self-defense.

Are they antags if they were before?
Are they human to the silicons?
Are they considered crew members?

Abilities

What are nutrients? How do you gain them? How much do you gain at a time?

Icon	Name	Nutrient Cost	Cooldown (default)	Description
	Guide Growth	2 nutrients	1 seconds	Creates a square of benign kudzu on any tile in your viewing range, including those far away from you. Benign kudzu can be put on Space and Seafloor tiles. Regular kudzu cannot spread past benign kudzu, and benign kudzu does not in of itself spread.
	Healing Touch	40 nutrients	30 seconds	Heals someone else. How much health? What kind of damage? Does this include brain and organ damage?
	Stealth	1 nutrient	10 seconds	Makes you partially translucent. People can still mouse over you and Examine you.
	Speak Kudzu	None	10 seconds	Speak to other kudzupeople via KUDZUSPEAK.

debating if there should be "while stunned" and "while handcuffed" icons

thinking of including a clip from the hilarious Batman & Robin (1997) film that has Poison Ivy in it
