This is a complete list of symptoms throughout Plague Inc.
A
Symptom | Plague Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Abscesses | Standard | Pockets of infected flesh are painful and act as breeding grounds for the pathogen, increasing infection rates when burst. |
Acidic Reflux | Necroa Virus | Extreme laryngopharyngeal reflux causes acidic saliva. Increases severity and gives zombies a combat advantage |
Acute Encephalitis | Necroa Virus/Neurax Worm | Multiple inflammatory lesions in the brain triggered. Causes neurological damage resulting in death |
Adoration | Neurax Worm | Surges of testosterone and estrogone hijack host emotions and create desire to spread infection |
Adrenal Surge | Necroa Virus | Mutation of the adrenal cortex causes adrenaline over-production, increasing alertness and aggression of zombies |
Adrenergic Constriction | Neurax Worm | Beta-receptor blockers released, dampening anxiety in the host and lessening severity of allergic reactions to the worm |
Aggression | Neurax Worm/Frozen Virus | Hypothalamic tap causes irrational hatred and violence, especially towards authorities and uninfected |
Akinetopsia | Neurax Worm | Host struggles to perceive motion making them more likely to collide with others/objects |
Anabolic Boost | Necroa Virus | Surges of testosterone significantly increase muscle mass and weight of some zombies. Severity significantly increased |
Anaemia | Standard | Decrease in red blood cells or haemoglobin in the blood can lead to hypoxia in the organs |
Anaerobic Resuscitation | Necroa Virus | Infected brain cells switch to anaerobic respiration. Lactic acid buildup is lethal and destroys higher brain processes and personality. |
Aneurysm | Neurax Worm | Tendrils feed off blood vessels in the brain which causes aneurysms, can be lethal and hard to accurately diagnose |
Anxiolytic Infusion | Neurax Worm | Mass synthesis of neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutyric acid, significantly reduces anxiety in the host and minimises severity of reactions |
Aphasia | Neurax Worm/Frozen Virus | Bruised tissue causes language impairment. Makes developing a cure significantly harder |
Apraxia | Neurax Worm | Bruised tissue causes inability to execute certain movements. Reduces infectiousness but extremely hard to cure |
Assassin | Simian Flu (combo) | Apes able to use their stealth abilities when attacking, increasing their effectiveness when needing to fight |
Autophagia | Necroa Virus | Compulsion to bite or partially devour own body - typically fingers or skin. Increases infection rates |
Autothysis | Necroa Virus | Explosive mix of hydrogen sulphide and methane collects inside zombie. Significantly increases severity and zombie combat advantage |
B
Symptom | Plague Type | Description |
Bath Time | Necroa Virus (Combo) | Autophagia, Polyphagia, and
Cannibalism are triggering horrific attacks daily - significantly increasing infectivity and concern over <plague name> |
Blindness | Neurax Worm/Simian Flu | Primary visual cortex disconnected
causing blindness. Significantly reduced awareness and causes fatal accidents |
Blood in the Air | Necroa Virus (Combo) | A heightened sense of smell
combined with paranoia causes zombies to relentlessly search in an area where they smell fresh blood - increasing their severity |
Blurred Vision | Simian Flu/Nipah Virus | Lack of sharpness of vision results
in the inability to see fine detail |
Bone Dysplasia | Necroa Virus/Frozen Virus | Relentless bone growth with high
mineral density results in severe musculoskeletal stress; lethal in many cases. Broken skin increases infection |
Boomer | Necroa Virus (Combo) | Autothysis and Liquefactive Necrosis
cause some zombies to explode when excited and cover their surroundings with infectious slime - increasing their severity |
Brain Haemorrhage | Neurax Worm | Tendrils digest brain matter for nutrients
causing complete degeneration and rupture of the cerebral tissue |
Buboes | Black Death | Infected lymph nodes become swollen
and inflamed. Bursting can aerosolise contents and infect others. |
