Shambler Virus

The Shambler Virus was an occult disease, seemingly spawned by Zulkir the Devourer , the last elder god. Though "natural" outbreaks first brought the virus to cosmic attention, it was subsequently weaponized by the The Black Cell Lab during Deutschreich's "Great War." The weaponized Shambler Virus was chiefly devised by Dr. Gewerschmidt, who later developed a less degenerative variant which, if carefully administered through an excruciating process of controlled necrosis, allowed a form of biological immortality. The Shambler Virus in this form allowed Dr. Gewerschmidt to survive for over two centuries, and has kept several key members of the original Black Cell Lab alive and in the biomancer's thrall.
== Symptoms ==
Those infected with the Shambler virus are very similar in nature to zombies, spreading the virus to others by violent expulsion of their own liquifying internal tissues. Their slow shuffle gives the virus its name.

The weaponized Shambler Virus was successfully deployed at the city of Dalcia, sowing chaos and disabling the garrison of the Aeldrum Trade Company. Following th evacuation of the surviving ATC personnel, the city was reclaimed by Russian forces, who were aided by Dr. Gewerschmidt in dispatching the Shamblers.
