Data Source: Necroa Virus Trait Stats (Game File: zombie.txt)
Insomnia	Inability to sleep causes irritation and tiredness. Slows future research speed	5	1	2	0	+0.01 Cure Research and Work
Photophobia	Sensitivity and pain when eyes exposed to sunlight. Slows future research speed but slightly reduces infection rates	1	-2	2	0	+0.01 Cure Research +0.02 Cure Work
Fever	Increase in temperature causes general feeling of sickness and reduces concentration. Slows future research speed	5	2	2	0	+0.01 Cure Research and Work
Coma	Pressure buildup in the brain stem can cause loss of consciousness. Significantly slows future research speed but reduces infection rates	8	-5	4	0	+0.1 Cure Research +0.07 Cure Work
Hyper Salivation	Inflammation of the submandibular gland increases saliva production and infection rates	7	3	2	0	+0.01 Cure Research
Gastroenteritis	Inflammation of the GI tract causes frequent vomiting. Significantly increases infection rates	8	6	2	0	+0.01 Cure Research
Polyphagia	Compulsive hunger forces continuous eating. Lack of hygiene increases risk of infection	7	4	2	0	+0.01 Cure Research
Autophagia	Compulsion to bite or partially devour own body - typically fingers or skin. Increases infection rates	8	7	2	0	+0.01 Cure Research
Cannibalism	Extreme compulsion to bite and eat other humans - significantly increasing infectivity as well as lethality	20	8	6	1.8	+0.05 Cure Research
Psychosis	Psychotic episodes lead to occasional bursts of extreme violence which can be lethal. Increases infectivity and slows future research speed	13	6	3	1.5	+0.05 Cure Research +0.01 Cure Work
Delirium	Reduction in cognitive function causes irrationality and paranoia. Can be fatal and significantly slows future research speed	12	1	3	1	+0.1 Cure Research +0.03 Cure Work
Acute Encephalitis	Multiple inflammatory lesions in the brain cause severe neurological damage resulting in death	21	1	1	13
Cytopathic Reanimation	Formation of complex neural structures enables re-animation of damaged cells and restoration of low level vitals. Turns dead into zombies	11	0	3	1	+0.1 Cure Work Zombies Active
Anaerobic Resuscitation	Infected braincells switch to anaerobic respiration. Lactic acid buildup is lethal and destroys higher brain processes and personality	9	0	2	7	+0.1 Cure Work
Lumbrical Hypertrophy	Significantly strengthens zombie grip making it nearly impossible for prey to break free. Severity significantly increased	10	0	9	0
Peptide Surge	Growth hormone production triggers extreme metabolism of fat to build muscle. Enhanced strength increases severity	6	0	6	0
Anabolic Boost	Surges of testosterone significantly increase muscle mass and weight of some zombies. Severity significantly increased	18	0	15	0
Masticatory Tension	Masticatory muscles become engorged, allowing zombie to bite through thick clothing. Severity increased	9	0	8	0
Acidic Reflux	Extreme laryngopharyngeal reflux causes acidic saliva. Increases severity and gives zombies a combat advantage	9	0	4	0	+0.07 Zombie Strength
Naja Mortis	Muscle growth around submandibular duct lets some zombies projectile spit at prey. Increases severity and zombie combat advantage	16	0	8	0	+0.12 Zombie Strength
Autothysis	Explosive mix of hydrogen sulphide and methane collects inside zombie. Significantly increases severity and zombie combat advantage	22	0	10	0	+0.22 Zombie Strength
Cranial Elephantitis	Adenoma triggers mutated growth hormones which encourage bone growth in the skull. Gives zombie combat advantage	9	0	0	0	+0.17 Zombie Strength
Dermal Calcification	Mutations in the endocrine system cause parts of skin to harden and calcify. Gives zombies a combat advantage	12	0	0	0	+0.24 Zombie Strength
Bone Dysplasia	Increased bone density provides enhanced protection against trauma. Gives zombies a significant combat advantage	15	0	0	0	+0.3 Zombie Strength
Adrenal Surge	Mutation of the adrenal cortex causes adrenaline over-production, increasing alertness and aggression of zombies	9	0	8	0
Enhanced Motor Control	Nutrient flow to the parietal lobe increased, improving movement and co-ordination. Increases severity, particularly in urban environments	3	0	3	0
Enhanced Sensory Integration	Nutrient flow to the occipital and temporal lobes increased. Enhanced sight and hearing increases severity	5	0	4	0
Hyperosmia	Thinning of the nasal epithelium significantly heightens zombie sense of smell. Increases severity	8	0	7	0
Temporal Lobe Manipulation	Zombies attracted to movement and will abandon victims once dead. Prey more likely to remain intact and become a zombie	11	0	1	0	+0.1 Zombie Conversion
Vampiric Hunger	Zombie prefers to suck the blood from its prey rather than eat the flesh. Prey more likely to remain intact and become a zombie	15	0	1	0	+0.1 Zombie Conversion
Cathemeral Shift	Stimulation of primary visual cortex improves vision in bright sunlight. Significantly increases severity	8	0	8	0
