Here, a few sentences from the comics : "you are what you eat." "our ability to absorb physical traits from the animal we consume." "You absorb traits like amphibian gills and weasel peepers." "what do you just take what you can use from their dna or something like that ?" "Something like that." "So, did you pick up anything else from biting that scaly motherlover ?" "Yes, I absorbed some of tibian's sigil enhanced agility, some of his memories too. It's the thoughts and the memories that give me ... difficulty ..." "okay, okay, no blood. How about a hair ? a hair too much for you ?" "I recognized this place ! Javi and his negation sigil-bearers came here. It's in the memories I absorbed from the reptilian." If you can help me to define my extraordinary ability consume. Thanks to answer me.

"Our scientists have found that DNA holds contain "race memories" ... and that some organisms can igest that DNA to obtain those memories." "It appears that the saurians are not only equally genetically capable of thsi "feat"." "They can cary it several steps further." "By consuming the DNA of non-saurians, they "absorb" more than simple memory." "They gradually assume their victims' physiological traits _ hence their rather unpredictable history of evolution." "We suspect that anything they glean is more general than specific but it's possible the saurians could even "pick up" small detailed memory flashes."
