New sprites for Gardener, Healer, Shaman, and Eggsac Carrier Strains
Healer constantly regurgitates the resin responsible for creating recovery nodes onto her hands. She will then spread that resin over her sisters' wounds to stop bleeding and heal them at the cost of her own health. She applies the resin to her hands constantly, ready to heal her sisters at a moment's notice.
Gardener grows fruit spores from her spines and plucks them off when they're ready to germinate in the weeds. All spores appear orange, but the Gardener knows which spores will grow into which type of fruit. Overexposure to the fruit spores caused her crest to turn a green tint.
The first Shaman was an ordinary Carrier who happened to be terrible at handling eggs, accidentally cracking or crushing every one she touched. After her queen banished her due to her faulty handling of the eggs, she lost her way in the middle of the jungle, where she acquired the powers of voodoo and spiritual magics after spending some time there, which turned her crest a jungle green color. Her hands are stained with egg yolk and blood from the crushed eggs.
The first Eggsac Carrier was an ordinary Carrier whose queen was in de-ovulation for far too long. After losing too many sisters, and with far too many infect-less caps, she felt helpless and prayed to the Queen Mother, who bid her some new powers: her tail began to swell and morph and change to the color of an ovipositor. At the expense of most of her plasma, she now can lay an egg.
Changelog
tweak: Edited existing Gardener and Healer icon states for Drone. You may now differentiate Healer drones from their sticky resin dripping from their limbs and Gardener drones from the spores they grow on their backs.
tweak: Edited existing Eggsac and Shaman icon states for Carrier. You may now differentiate Shaman from their jungle green crest and egg juice dripping from their claws and Eggsac Carriers from the swollen pseudo-ovipositor taking the place of their tails.
tweak: Filled in any small gaps within all xenomorph sprites with a 1 alpha color to prevent misfires from clicking on a 1x1 pixel gap within the sprites.
rscdel: Removed Scatterspitter icon states from Sentinel.

Note: the PNGs are preview images. Sprites were compiled into a DMI file. No icon states were added; I only edited the icon states directly.
