Deadesivo

Deadesivo (singular deadesium) is a disease that corrupts complixonox, and is the main vector through which corruption occurs.
==Information==
Deadesivo first evolved on Raeth, where it was originally a parasitic bacterium that affected Raethians and, as the name implies, rendered one dead. Or to be more specific, it rendered one's DNA into DED (DeoxyriboEthanoic aciD), which in turn rendered one dead.
Importantly, deadesivo did this not through the conventional means of hijacking RNA, but by directly affecting a Raethian's complixonox in order to alter the actual conceptual being of the Raethian. Thus, a Raethian was turned into a slightly different complien - one which spread more deadesivo, and probably died shortly thereafter.
The potential of directly altering complixonox was quickly realized, and deadesivo was eventually isolated, genetically manipulated, and turned into the force through which the Raethians did all of their cool genetic engineering feats. Unfortunately, it was also used for biological warfare, because of course it was, and spread the Corrupt Element throughout the entire population of Raeth.
==Trivia==
*Modern-day deadesivo is not actually very contagious, and can easily be destroyed by most immune systems. Corruption requires deliberate, repeated application of deadesivo and a weakened immune system, or a Complien that purposefully infects itself, like Infectoid.
