Symptoms
Compare
Abscesses
Pockets of infected flesh are painful and act as breeding grounds for the pathogen, increasing infection rates when burst
Aggression
Confusion and immaturity results in lethal primal aggression towards others. Cure progress significantly slowed
Anaemia
Decrease in red blood cells or haemoglobin in the blood can lead to hypoxia in the organs
Aphasia
Progressive loss of brain cells damages parts of brain responsible for language and understanding. Makes cure development harder
Bone Dysplasia
Relentless bone growth with high mineral density results in severe musculoskeletal stress - lethal in many cases. Broken skin increases infection
Carnivorous Denticulation
Hormone changes trigger growth of carnivorous teeth and consumption of raw meat. Poor dental hygiene increases infectivity
Cranial Elephantitis
Increased bone growth places pressure on the brain. Trauma makes cure development significantly harder and can be lethal
Cysts
Painful lumps containing pockets of the pathogen. Slight chance of bursting which can spread disease
Drooling
Occasional intemperate drooling when sleeping or eating. Increases infectivity slightly
Edentulism
Severe gum infection causes teeth to fall out
Hemorrhagic Shock
Severe loss of blood volume causes oxygen deprivation, loss of consciousness and death
Hepatic Failure
Chronic replacement of normal liver cells with scar tissue causes liver to fail, resulting in rapid death
Immaturity
Reduction in hormone levels causes immature and antisocial behaviour, reducing cure research. Lower levels of hygiene cause infection
Jaundice
Accelerated viral reproduction in the liver results in bilirubin build-up, causing yellowing of skin, eyes and mucus membrane. Increases infectivity
Malignant Ascites
Accumulation of fluid in abdominal cavity due to severe cirrhosis. Can be lethal
Mandibular Strain
Moderate pain in mastication muscles, especially when eating, and periodical jaw clicking
Memory Loss
Recent memories become nebulous in patients, replaced with vague historical recollections. Negatively impacts cure progress
Neanderthal Regression
DNA recombination destroys logical and emotional brain function, leading to complete regression to Neanderthal state
Skin Lesions
Breakdown in the epidermis causes large open wounds which significantly increase infectivity
Systemic Infection
Pathogen affects multiple organs and tissue types, causing body-wide infections that spread fast and can be fatal
Tumours
Pathogen disrupts cell growth pathways, causing uncontrolled, eventually fatal tumour growth
