It sounds silly but please don't dismiss this without some thought.
Kudzu in and of itself is not that big a deal. But it can make other problems on the station far worse given a little planning, or bad luck.
So here's the idea, a traitor item, a seed that can be used by clicking on an adjacent station tile (Or just a seed tray) and doing so spawns 1 space kudzu that begins to spread without warning.
Great for distractions, blocking up the maint tunnels, or just gettign the crew to waste time and resources while you plan and gather your gear.
Or just gimmicks.
The seed would probly be cheap due to it's low threat level, meaning it could finish off that last bit of Telecrystals after a traitor makes their loadout, plus it gives a traitor a good reason to be hauling all kinds of incendiaries around the station openly! After all, he's fighting the Kudzu! Woops! Steve shoulda not stood by that kudzu, shame he died.
Alternatives:
(non plasma) gas producing kudzu: each tile produces a small amount of CO2, N2, what have you, in large quantities of kudzu they literally choke the station to death... when internals run out. OR it consumes O2, leaving the station in a vacuum.
Poison Briar Kudzu: walking over a square of said kudzu has a small chance to give a mild dose of NT or other poison unlikely to kill unless someone is very foolish.. or the kudzu is everywhere
Gaia rage: Dire Kudzu, other suggestions may be included, but primarily, as it grows is have a small chance to spawn critters, ranging from space bears and hornets, up to Darkness(es?) and poison golems. It can also move through doors and over scaffolding. Good times are had.
