Fungus zombies

[hcobb]

Variant of Ophiocordyceps that infects hominids. (There's others just for Reptile People and gargoyles of course.)

Those bitten by fungus zombies or exposed to the spores need to roll 3/ST as a health roll (adjusted for Hardy and size as usual for health rolls.)

On the third day following a failed save they're infected with a slight fever. Roll 3/ST as a health roll each day and on a failure lose 1 IQ. (When IQ drops to 5 they will crawl to the highest nearby spot where their skull explodes, scattering spores.)

Whenever an infected is exposed to stress roll 3/IQ or go berserk, with lots of biting.
