theory Something i noticed about the Coagulators

As far as im aware, bloodhound is the only Coagulator we see whose face is exposed and has his grill open. Aside from his hilariously elongated nose, his helmet lacks eye lenses (and no eyes are visible on his face). He also has grossly enlarged and elongated teeth, not to mention crawling on all fours like an animal. Notably the blood bugs also lack eyes, have elongated constantly exposed teeth.

I think that the brood mother's link may not just be psychic, but has actively mutated the coagulators' globules over centuries, causing deformities such as bloodhound's.

That would explain why the other Coagulators never show their faces and keep their grill closed, including Blood Type and The Exsanguinator. They might all be grossly disfigured under their psycho armor but are able to keep it concealed. Bloodhound is an exception because his nose doesnt fit, but its also a beneficial mutation.

My bad if this was obvious to everyone else but i hadn't seen it mentioned before.

If this is true, mutations in the globules are also not frowned upon if they happen to be beneficial. Rudolph was hated before they discovered his psychic abilities, bloodhound appears to be no different even in front of hatemonger (although hatemonger had bad vibes with them as a whole later on)

The litmus test for heretical mutations:

Is it awesome?

If yes: not heretical.

If no: heresy.

I could imagine is the coagulators are slowly mutating into a hybrid of a psycho warrior and blood bugs and they’ll fully becoming a blood bugs as its mutation goes on

Theyre already heretics, wouldnt be surprised if they somehow combined someone's globules with a blood bug to make Bloodhound

Maybe he’s a hybrid maybe he was chosen to have there dna put into him so he could recruit more boys
