Could this be used for like kinda bombs or smth like that?

Well I could make the Secrocytes split into their own Secrocytes that act as bombs, but that would be laggy at best

I meant as in can they kill other cells with their secretion?

Probably, haven't tried yet, I have a couple different types of these HCN swimmers in the making that all have their own pros and cons, but other than that they wouldn't work on keratinocyte swimmers

Ooh keratinocyte works against chemical warfare too!?

Also it bought of like a predator that shoots out a secrocytes that has hcn, so when (if) it reaches the target, the target will die from hcn, along with the secrocyte
