Inspired by my absolute hate for spiders both in game and out
The Spider Queen Mutation
A geneticist specific traitor item that most likely costs somewhere between 8-10 telecrystals. It in essence makes you a hybrid between a vampire and the ice spider queen. Extremely noticable to anyone who looks at you(John Pubbie is covered in black carapace! Gross!), and it's debatable as to whether the silicons still consider you human(it would be pretty dickish for ai and borgs to hunt you down as soon as they see you). The mutation includes a couple powers all in one.
Bite the head like a vampire to inject venom into people. Said person must remain still for this to work
Eating food and/or flesh generates web for you to use with your abilities(did I mention no kuru for you?)
Shoot web at people that causes a short stun similar to changeling acit but without the knockout.
Spin web allows you to wrap someone in a cocoon for quick and easy transport back to your lair
Web construct (this one honestly doesn't need to exist, it's just a suggestion) allows you to build web floors and walls. These slow anyone without said mutation, but are quite flammable. Cocoons also stick to these increasing the time it takes for someone to break out
Lay eggs in our out of your victims to create baby spiders to defend you. They don't grow and die just as easy as the normal baby ice spiders.
This would bring some fun to geneticist traitoring and would act as a fairly balanced item for its cost. Sure your a big bad spider, but there's still limits to what you can do. Any mook with a flamethrower can set you carefully crafted lair ablaze and your babies can only do so much. In the interest of keeping vampire unique I don't think this needs some type of evolving/reward system for captured prey. While I think it would be interesting and a great addition, that would evolve this past a simple traitor item and into a whole new antag(not against that either).
tl;dr-Spiderpig, spiderpig, does whatever a spiderpig does~
