->Imagine you wake up one day to find out there's something different in your world, not an external event, but something about yourself that is not how it's supposed to be - something that wasn't there before. It starts out like a rash, a lump, or an irregular growth; it's worrisome, [[ItsProbablyNothing but you think to yourself it will probably leave]]. After a while, the unfamiliar visitor starts demanding your attention: [[PainfulTransformation the discomfort increases]], and [[EvilIsVisceral its appearance worsens]]. You try to conceal it, or even get rid of it, but you start understanding - it's not going away. It can't leave. It's a part of you, a threat spreading throughout your body, bruising your skin and swelling your insides, denaturing your being. An intimate nightmare with no exit, deforming and twisting you until [[WasOnceAMan you become something you don't even recognize]], taking away parts of who you are and making you worry about what you might lose next. Body horror lives in this kind of fear: the destruction of one's body.

->Timothy, as you can plainly see, is suffering from a marked excess of dermis. In other words, too much skin. His internal organs are similarly affected; heart, liver, lungs, intestines, what have you, all stretched to near-bursting. This accounts for the marked bulging of his torso. We keep Timmy in a constant state of complete sedation and hooked up to heart-lung machine. Its the only way his body can continue to operate in its present form.
-> I see most of you don't recognize poor Timothy, but you've no doubt heard of his exploits under his ''nom de superplume,'' the musclebound, nine-feet toil fuchsia force of nature known as The Humongous. In pre-Flux days, Mr Tibbetts was a mild-mannered accountant with [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry suppressed anger issues]]. Ordinarily, this would have presented no real worry, but the Flux physically externalized his rage, expanding his body mass into the indestructible , grunting horrorhero we all love. The thing is, when the rage ultimately subsides and escapes his body like air from a deflating balloon, what is left is a [[BlessedWithSuck distorted, enlarged mass of muscle tissue and skin draped over a skeletal structure too puny and frail to handle it]]. .

->My Ailment is a parasite, ''Gusano Coco Cervello.'' This Worm is endemic throughout both Melanesia & Polynesia, but has been known to science only these last ten years. It breeds in the stinking canals of Batavia, doubtless the port of my own infection. Ingested, it voyages through the host's blood vessels to the brain's ''cerebellum anterior.'' (Hence my migraines and dizziness) Ensconced in the brain, it enters a gestation phase. "You are a realist, Adam," Henry told me, "so your pills shall be unsugared. Once the Parasite's larva hatch, the victim's brain becomes a maggoty cauliflower. Putrescent gasses cause the ear-drums and [[EyeScream eyeballs to protrude until they pop]], releasing a cloud of ''Gusano Coco'' spores."

->As [[FesteringFungus the parasite]] [[PuppeteerParasite works its tendrils farther into its host]], the host begins physically changing. Organs start to shut down, made unnecessary as the parasite becomes the only thing keeping the host “alive.”
->Hosts in the advanced stages look very much like [[ParasiteZombie walking corpses]]. Their skin takes on a deathly pallor as their hearts stop pumping blood, their eyes become glassy and sunken, and their movements become slower and less coordinated.
