Metalophage Virus

The Metalophage Virus, also called the Oxyproducer virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism with the unique feature of modifying the structure of the cell it infects in order to use metal as a means to produce atp and oxygen.
The virus, once introduced into a host proliferates, stopping cells from accepting oxygen. The virus latches onto cells, swallows them and allows the cell to live inside it. The Metalophage virus then infects cells and modifies its internal functions to accept metal as a means to produce atp and to fluidify mucus. The Metalophage Virus then "becomes" the cell and produces oxygen as a by product.
This leads to infected hosts to consume metals in order to survive.
