Drop one of the ways for infection, for one thing. How about this: Death Throes (Ex): This monster only reproduces when it dies, though it can end its own life to reproduce, if it so chooses. When it dies, the pustules covering its body will burst in a 60-foot radius (death by cold and fire damage, and total destruction of the hellseed’s body will prevent this). A nasty, fetid spore cloud belches out from the various orifices in the body created by the bursting pustules. All breathing creatures hit by the thorns must roll a Fort save (DC 20) or inhale the spores. Infected creatures will lose 1 point of Constitution per day, dying when it reaches 0. One month after death, a flower blooms from the body, from which emerges an immature version of the monster.Larvae automatically implant themselves into plant creatures (no saving throw) as well as fresh corpses. This new hellseed retains the memories of the victim (including ones who were already dead). Once the spores are in a creature’s system, this process of forming a new monster can only be stopped by a miracle or wish spell, although remove curse or remove disease will stop the loss of Constitution in a living victim. The save DC is Constitution-based. Finally, we should also revise the description to comform to the altered abilities a bit (for example, drop the references to the "true" body, as it can no longer possess other creatures).</blockquote>
