 Steve Jackson Games Forums - Kroot in gurps
An individual kroot, once born, can only absorb limited amounts of DNA and make limited changes to itself, but when they breed they can incorproate more DNA into their young, and the new kroot will have that trait in a stronger amount than their parents.
So, if a kroot ate a chameleon, for example, and it had some points left in it's DNA pool it could give itself that many points of chameleon ability, but would take a while to make the cnanges in itself.
Introns are "blank" DNA that seperates the information DNA sequences, so the kroot don't assimilate that, they assimilate the USEFUL dna and encode it into THEIR introns, which they have somehow learned to use as "blank space" to encode new, useful dna onto.

If the Kroot is a Shaper or the Warband includes a Shaper then you may chose which attribute is taken (for A) and you may choose which ability you gain (for B).
I don't have any material on the Kroot, so I don't know if they absorb anything more than the physical traits of their food; some of the abilities such as 'WotE' just don't seem right for a Kroot, but things like regenerate and accute senses could always be a possibility.
As there are no details of what the Kroot were like before this 6,000 year period, we can't really judge what mutations have taken place, so we likewise can't judge the rate of mutation, but most sources have it as being within a few weeks or months of consumption.

Be wary though, the Tau rules are still at an early playtest stage (as they will be released in 2008), and the way hounds and ox are treated may well be changed (and hopefully so).
