Acquisition
Panzer Devolution is automatically acquired upon obtaining a Panzer Vulpaphyla.
Notes
- The larval form floats beside the owner, similar to a Sentinel.
- Devolution prevents bleedout and thus the Vulpaphyla cannot be revived normally. Its transformation also cannot be sped up.
- Damage is affected by
Maul, Bite, and elemental mods. - The larva spits up to 3 quills at nearby enemies every 5 seconds. Enemies that are hit are afflicted by spores, similar to
Saryn's 
Spores, which inflict Viral damage every second and applying Viral procs.
- These quills don't trigger the lifesteal-link from Hunter Recovery or modded status effects like the full-grown Viral Quills do.
- Spores remain active until the Vulpaphyla respawns to its true form.
- Spores can be spread by shooting them.
- Saryn's
Toxic Lash will also burst all spores on a target.
