"Undeath" Fungus

The Fungal Plague is a variation of the Plague of Undeath. It involves the release of spores that are inhaled into the lungs, and the spores infect the lungs from within. The plague grows inside the body of the infected individual until ultimately killing the patient and then raising them into undeath. As soon as they become undead, their body begins to mutate over time as fungal growths form on their body and their humanoid form turns into that of a fungal beast. As soon as the plague infects the lungs, the plague becomes airborne as the patient breathes and coughs.

Due to the airborne nature of the Fungal Plague, it is mandatory for masks to filter out the spores. The Plague cannot infect Undead due to the fact that Undead cannot inhale the spores; however, the spores do grow on corpses, thus the cause of the transformation post-death, and so prolonged exposure to these spores will cause fungal growth even on Undead, from Ghouls to Forsaken. It can, in fact, cause the bodily transformation into a form of a fungal beast as well.

The Fungal Plague was carefully created by Plaguebringer Rulkoff and is currently being applied to new Plague Cauldrons.
