Chakra Orchid: Alabaster Bloom Concept Test

alaBasteR Bloom (WaRRioR) White flowers are warrior blooms, with enough cun- ning to follow orders, attack in groups and use tactics. Some infected creatures utter discernable battle cries and can sound terrifyingly similar to the voices of the infested. Once a flower has blossomed on the back of the neck of a victim, however, little can be done to rescue her or save her from her doom, no matter how lucid she may seem. Victims of the warrior blooms are agile and covered in a natural bark-like armor. They often have elongated claws of wood or extra teeth. Alabaster blooms can have up to a year lifespan before the body succumbs to the infestation.
