He was scaled like a lizard, blind, [[DraconicHumanoid with the stub of a tail and small leather wings like the wings of a bat]]. When I touched him, the flesh sloughed off the bone, and inside he was full of graveworms and the stink of corruption. He had been dead for years.

->The disease begins as a rash. The afflicted flesh stiffens, calcifies, and cracks, and assumes the disease's nominal hue. Victims are graciously spared pain, [[FeelNoPain as the disease dulls sensation in the infected limbs]]. But the disease is insidious and slowly it creeps over the skin and into the organs. Once the infection reaches the brain, feral madness replaces humanity and the [[FateWorseThanDeath transformation to a stone man]] is complete.

->Those who receive the blessing of [[MysticalPlague Nurgle’s Rot]] endure some of the most twisted and foul bodily depredation imaginable. Sores swell, pulse, and split open, spraying pus and maggots. Bruises appear in an instant from even the slightest contact, often times with no contact at all, turning the flesh purple, yellow, and black. Fingers, toes, ears, and lips rot away and fall off. Hip bones soften and break, forcing leg bones through rancid flesh. In particularly vicious cases, the eyes and tongue become fertile breeding grounds of flies or even an especially mischievous Nurgling or two. It is a misery to which no amount of description can ever possibly do justice.

->A warrior that is visited by too many [[RedRightHand gifts]] of the [[EldritchAbomination Dark Gods]] will eventually succumb to madness and mutation. His altered physique will reach a point where reason can no longer sustain it, and he will wail and scream in anguish as his flesh ripples, sprouts and writhes, undergoing [[OneWingedAngel the most profound and final of changes]]. Some unfortunates burst open like fleshy flowers, bloat like week-old corpses, or find tentacles and hairy arms that end in twisted mockeries of their own faces emerging from every orifice. Some grow into distended caricatures of beasts, with the heads of insects and predators pushing out from their chests and shoulders. Others find their rapidly-swelling flesh covered in blisters and buboes that burst open to reveal [[EyesDoNotBelongThere great bloodshot eyes]], horror and panic writ large in every one. Truly the beasts known as Chaos Spawn have a thousand faces and forms. The only thing that unites them is the repugnance of their new flesh.

->...And [[OrganAutonomy the asshole]] said to him, "It's you who will shut up in the end. Not me. Because we don't need you around here anymore. I can talk and eat ''and'' shit.
->After that, he began waking up in the morning with a transparent jelly like a tadpole's tail all over his mouth. This jelly was what the scientists call un-D.T., Undifferentiated Tissue, which can grow into any kind of flesh on the human body. He would tear it off his mouth and the pieces would stick to his hands like burning gasoline jelly and grow there, grow anywhere on him a glob of it fell. So finally [[WipeThatSmileOffYourFace his mouth sealed over]] and the whole head would have [[OffWithHisHead amputated spontaneous]] - (did you know there is a condition occurs in parts of Africa and only among Negroes where the little toe amputates spontaneously?) - except for the ''eyes,'' you dig. That's one thing the asshole couldn't do was see. It needed the eyes. But nerve connections were blocked and infiltrated and atrophied so the brain couldn't give orders any more. It was trapped in the skull, sealed off. For a while, you could see [[AndIMustScream the silent, helpless suffering of the brain behind the eyes]], then finally the brain must have died because the eyes ''went out'', and there was no more feeling in them than a crab's eye on the end of a stalk.

They dug out the fragments of his splintered ribs, kept his heart beating with bits of an old alarm clock and gave him a solid metal chassis underneath his chest. He didn't do much more than [[PainfulTransformation moan and squirm a little]], though, so they began to look for other problems. Ultimately, they replaced his entire trunk with plastic and rubber, and replaced his clumsy digestive system with a processing plant for simple diesel.
