->Many undead have methods of propagating their curse among their previously living victims. For instance, those infected by the diseased bite of a [[OurGhoulsAreCreepier ghoul]] may contract ghoul fever. Those who perish from this rotting illness rise at the next midnight as ghouls themselves. In this way, some undead recruit the formerly living into their shuffling ranks.\\\
Undead propagate in a sick parody of life's method of multiplying. Worse yet, undead propagation is far quicker, easier, and doesn't require the consent of the creature to be made undead -- only a victim's inability to drive off the grave-born attacker.

->When they come in contact with organic matter, they use the mass to form a neural control network that then takes control of the ship... Each Beast cell functions like a biomechanical virus. It is capable of using and subverting living cells in much the same way that i-it subverts and uses non-organic technology...

->We warned you of [[MysticalPlague what crawls out of 3AM]]. It gets in your head. From your head, it gets to the rest of you. The dreams of the [[EldritchAbomination Dreamers]] have a particularly volatile reaction to the minds of humanity. Your clay becomes so malleable. It starts in the mind. Self-perception erodes. The more of Their perception you absorb, the harder it is for your brain to remember its human self. Then the body follows. Self-perception, sweetling. Once that gravity dissolves, your molecules flow, and then [[BodyHorror whole new vistas of horrible possibility open]].

->''"You can see how the body has been transformed by the genetic restructuring of the Flood infection. The small creatures carry spores that cause a host to mutate. The mutated host then produces spores that can pass the Flood to others. It is insidious and elegant. As long as any hosts remain, the Flood is virulent."''

->...whatever this here biomatter is, its first order'a business is to compensate for any major damage to the host. Unfortunatelike, it compensates ''so hard'' it kinda... well... I suppose you could say it's thrown everything out in the process and started fresh. It brings in so much new information that it doesn't just fix an injury, but goes on to overwrite the entire being with somethin' totally newfangled. Emphasis on the ''fangled'' a'course.
