Vital and digestive organs that are no longer needed are turned into additional musculature, giving all Necromorphs increased physical strength. More often than not, the violently spasming corpse becomes so hot that stagnant blood boils in the veins and arteries, rupturing the skin. All of this takes place in a matter of seconds, and generates tremendous amounts of heat. Bones are broken, put together in new configurations, or reshaped into entirely new forms. Cellular functions go into a self-destructive overdrive, creating new biologically active compounds which are then metabolized by reanimated flesh to fuel further mutation of once-dead flesh. The process is extraordinarily rapid, and predictably violent. Once the host is dead, the recombinant properties of the infection take hold. Living victims that ingest Necromorph tissue in quantity undergo a slow transformation, eventually dying and becoming Feeders. While these symptoms do not necessarily ensure the death of the host, they can make it easier for nearby Necromorphs to catch and kill the victims. In order for the Necromorph pathogen to infect a host body, the host must first be killed for reasons unknown, living victims who come into contact with the microbes do not undergo transformation, although symptoms of paralysis, catatonia, and impaired breathing can occur. Typically, the infection is passed to new host bodies via specialized Necromorphs such as Infectors or Swarms.
The infection is also spread directly through the Necromorph pathogen - that is, the reanimated cells created by the Markers and which compose the Necromorphs. This signal also affects the minds of intelligent life forms, usually manifesting as dementia and resulting in homicidal and suicidal actions – laying out a rich field of fodder for the Necromorph infection. These structures re-broadcast a highly concentrated electromagnetic signal that alters any dead tissue in range on a cellular level, converting it into Necromorph tissue and re-animating the corpse of the host organism. The generation of Necromorphs begins with Markers.
