Primitive Bolster

Description
Primitive Bolsters are slow, big sack-like parasites with four insect-like legs and a fleshy body from which various tentacles emerge.

It does not spawn by itself, however it can be formed via the Merging System, or summoned by a Stage 3 Beckon.

Behavior
Primitive Bolsters will go after players and other non-infected mobs, hitting them with their body.

They will also, when attacking, "Bolster", as its name implies any nearby parasites, increasing their stats and healing them.

Upon killing 10 other mobs, it will turn into an Adapted Bolster.

Strategies
Primitive Bolsters seem weak on their own, and they are, but they can still dish out a considerable amount of damage and take as much without dying. When fighting a horde with a bolster, it is recommended to go for the Bolster first, as it will make dealing with the rest of the parasites much easier.

Overall, this is the primitive parasite that is least likely to turn into its adapted version, as it is slow, and entities will run away from it like any other parasites, not to mention it has to get 10 kills by itself, as the mobs killed by its buffed allies do not count towards its adapted form.

Drops
Primitive Bolsters will only drop experience when killed.
