Skulk Growth is Living

Looking at the skulk theme so far, I feel like the deep dark should feel alive in its own way. The skulk growth could either be like a pressure plate and send a signal to the skulk sensors or they could act as a way to slow the player down. If the Warden knows that someone is near, it can communicate with the skulk sensors to tell the skulk growth to slow the player down as if it were soul sand. That would make the deep dark seem a little bit more dangerous.
