I find it very amusing that all of the of the royal candidates' knights are completely overpowered in some way or another. Like, all of these guys have some level of IMMORTALITY.

That's kind of a tricky answer for me because like.. yes and no. There clearly ARE some overlap and influences from the parent and it also depends ON the new species itself. The new species & what they can do are also dependent on who the king is and what they are able to do.. but also what they ate. So it can be a very wide pool of genetics to create something very fundamentally different, to a degree where they would not be able to create offspring with worms for example. At least not usually, there are exceptions (Dollop can if she wished.)

I'd say Hekatons are much less blood related to Aldebaran than Aiguille and much more based on his diet and.. gut biome? Of course, this is very speculative and weird alien scifi biology, but I always kind of considered them to be.. somehow more drawing from the chemical "waste" and amino acids of the Worm. Digestion IS fundamentally the most powerful aspect of the worm and it's shapeshifting, so a creature that is basically ALL tissue and a very dense, indigestible, flammable liquid feels appropriate that it might stem from those things. Does it really make sense tho? I am not sure. I don't even think Aldebaran knows how he managed to make it work - but he's pretty proud of his skill regardless. Although, Knife still made him very angry with how he disobeyed his commands and ruined his chance to control the Hekatons for himself. They were passed down to Evil Mother instead.

Cadmium is MUCH more genetically related to Antony (or specifically, Canary) and Celadon and would be considered a descendent, although she is not a worm. I wont disclose what kind of species she could have offspring with but she is a similiar case to what Dollop can do.. but in a different way, i guess.
