IceNine works in 34Life, but what other rules is it in?

Context:
IceNine(more information here: https://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/IceNine) is a strange infinite growth pattern that consumes still lifes, oscillators and anything in its way - including other IceNines.

Other:
What I mean by IceNine is a infinite growth pattern which consumes everything in its path or merges with other copies of itself.

Strictly speaking, the original IceNine was a sort of hypothetical/humorous concept, but if you're referring to an infinite growth pattern that consumes everything, basically every explosive rule works.

IceNine ish patterns tend to appear in chaotic rules which grow a lot.
