A member of the Ishimura crew remarked that by the time they had finished sterilizing an area of the Corruption, it had already grown back, and in even greater size. This allows it to spread far and fast during an outbreak, even in areas of low available biomass.
It infects dead cells through osmosis, whereupon it proceeds to reproduce asexually at an incredible rate. Cross, the Corruption resembles a bacteria. This makes sense from a practical standpoint the Corruption can spread via otherwise-useless food sources, leaving the intact corpses to become combat-oriented Necromorphs.Īccording to a log addressed to Dr. This implies that the Corruption will use any available biological matter-or, at least, any animal tissue-to grow. Scans showed that, after Marker 3A was destroyed and the Corruption was reduced to an organic sludge due to the absence of a Marker signal, what was left was only 70% human DNA. Like all Necromorphs, the Corruption is only active in the presence of a Marker signal.Ĭorruption formation in the Tripods' Nest. The Corruption is one of the first and most pervasive signs of a Necromorph outbreak. It just seemed to be in multiple points on the ship, all at once." -Prof. That's why we haven't been able to pinpoint any specific origin point, I think. One of these bacterium reproduces twenty-fold in just one minute. What's most incredible is the speed at which it grows. This organism infects other cells through osmosis, then mutates and reproduces agamogenetically. Given its affinity for dead tissue, at first I thought it was some sort of fungus, but the cells most closely resemble bacteria with viral behavior. Description " This substance is absolutely fascinating.
