The blob is a fast-growing dangerous organism whose main goal is to take over the station. You can become a blob carrier both at the beginning of the round and in the middle if you pick the ghost role. The carrier of the blob is either a crewmate, or a mouse.

Core

The most important blob tile is the Core. By destroying the Core, the blob will be defeated, and all its other tiles will die, turning a shade of bone white. You can always see the core health on the right side of the screen as a percentage. Watch your Core and don't let it be destroyed!

There are 2 actions you can take with the Core: "Transfer" and "Split".

• When a core is transferred, the selected node and kernel are swapped. This is useful in case the kernel location is not very secure.
• When the core is split, the selected node becomes a new and independent Core. Although this action requires a lot of points, in the long run, a new core can help you capture the station.

Tile Types

Normal tiles are extremely vulnerable to burns or even mechanical damage until they are upgraded. They can also be upgraded to strong versions, and then reflective versions, or turned into special blob tiles. You cannot upgrade strong/reflective tiles to special tiles!

Special tiles

• Resource Tiles are constantly producing points for all the actions the blob performs. These are your second most important tiles, before the core.
• Factory Tiles creates Blob Pods and Blobbernauts to help fight against the station.
• Node Tiles allow you to place other blob tiles around it within a certain radius. They will also heal Zombies and Blobbernauts when close.

Minions

Blob factories can produce Blob Spores and Blobbernauts, these are your bread and butter. Blob Spores have the ability to turn dead humanoids into zombie blobs, which will force them to fight on your side against the rest of the crew. They will also release a cloud of smoke on death, the effect depending on your chemical.

• Blobbernauts deal a lot of damage, and are tanky, which will come in handy for attacking. They will also carry over any effects the Blob has, such as exploding whatever they punch!
