The Shredder - Gets a Biomass bonus for killing enemies

The Canker - Placing tokens in a zone converts enemy tokens. Gains a Biomass bonus for of their tokens at end of the game.

The Ampulex - Placing in a zone, moves enemy tokens out forcing new conflict. Earn bonus biomass for tokens killed in this way.
