When kythons mature fully, their torso grows so that they become a little more like upright humanoids (although they still usually hunch over). Their tail drops away as they pass into this stage, but they gain another set of clawed arms. The exoskeleton is now either green, dark blue, or black.
Adult kythons’ bodily fluids become less poisonous, but they develop poison sacs in their mouth with a new type of venom. Adults guard the nests and carry out most of the work that needs doing for kython society as a whole. Most kythons remain in this stage forever. A few mature into more specialized stages, most of these becoming impalers, a few transforming into slaymasters, and very rare individuals be- coming slaughterkings.
