*The first cases of infection progressed through a state of fever, aches, and internal bleeding, and this illness ultimately was fatal. As seen on the MRI of Candace Jenner, the virus apparently spreads into the brain like meningitis. It apparently infects synapses, mostly concentrating on those in the brain stem. It eventually causes the adrenal glands to hemorrhage and the brain to shutdown, all brain activity would cease, followed by the major organs and the body would be clinically dead: no measurable brain activity, no reflexes, and no respiration or pulse. A variable time later, the pathogen, through some means, would revive synapses it infected and reactivate the brainstem of the dead body, but only the brainstem and not the cerebrum or cerebellum. |

| − | The videogame Plague Inc gives the virus an official name: the Necroa Virus. The virus is a quickly evolving virus, probably first appearing as a nonthreatening yet symptom free cotangent. Within months, the virus evolves into more lethal symptoms, but they all share a similar trait no matter which symptoms occur. The plague enters the brain and begins to spread in the brain, damaging multiple regions of the brain until death finally occurs. However the brain does not lose mass and is physically intact in some vital regions that the plague will later use as a Zombie. After death the brain is reanimated and the Zombie is born. As the plague continues to evolve, the newer zombies are actually more decayed and physically damaged by the plague as its lethality overwhelms the human body much faster. Even the brain shows more damage in these final stages, and the skin and flesh show intensified rotting. It is implied by the images of the symptoms that a human will slowly appear with zombie-like traits, like discolored eyes, mental illness, early rotting or strained mouth jaws shortly before officially dying and becoming a zombie. In the game the virus begins with traits relating to insomnia and hyper salivation (a trait unique to this plague). Segmented genome is another unique trait, which makes the plague mutate slightly every time it spreads, increasing the chance of a radical mutation to occur. Psychosis also occurs, which causes the victim to have bursts of violence and hostility even before becoming a Zombie. The virus is capable of absorbing nutrients from the dead organs to energize a Zombie and even temporarily repair or heal damage, and can use enzymes to slow down the processes of decay. This allows Zombies to survive much longer than a typical reanimated corpse could. Zombie Hordes also use chemicals to create communication and sometimes even a social structure, where a 'Zombie Leader' determines where to travel to. But othertimes it can be simplified to having a Zombie follow other Zombies because mentally, the only thing they can do is mimic others and cannot function independently |
