The Roseglitch

The Roseglitch is a disease in thd Berryverse, caused by overexposure to Roseberry Crepe's mind glitching spores, though it can also spread through other means, like fungal ooze, It infects humans, animals, and other creatures that don't have high levels of magic in their immune system.

## Stages

Stage 1: Dizziness, confusion, forgetfulness, sudden sweet floral scent. Best time to cure.

Stage 2 (after 1-5 hours of infection): Memory loss, slight aggression, itchy greenish skin, glitchy bud-like growths. Still curable.

Stage 3 (after 6-12 hours) glitchy buds on body begin to bloom, infected start to mutate. Curability decreases a lot.

Stage 4 (after 13-19 hours): Glitchy roses sprout and grow more, mutation continues, infected loses memory and human mind. IQ decrease. Curability is very low, if not impossible.

Stage 5 (after 20+ hours): Infected is now fully a Roseglitch Monster. Cannot be cured at all.

## Roseglitch Monster

Roseglitch monsters are bizarre, glitchy, very deformed creatures covered in glitchy orange roses. They are so twisted and distorted that they're unrecognizable. They have black eyes with red and yellow rings, similar to two of Roseberry Crepe's eyes. They also have sharp teeth, claws, overly-long limbs, and some eldritch and insectoid elements, such as bug wings, multiple parts, spikes, and tentacles.

Their behavior is feral, aggressive, and zombie-like. They simply hunt for prey to eat or creatures to infect. A bite or scratch from them infects you with the Roseglitch.

They also come in "classes" or rolls that determine parts of their appearance and behaviors.

### Monster Classes

* Drone: Simple humanoid monsters that don't have a lot of attacks, but mostly infect others and bring things to Roseberry.
* Swordsman: Long sword-like arm or arms, these fast monsters ambush their opponent and stab them until they die or transform. They're usually tall and skinny and quite fast.
* Pilot: Monsters with giant wings that can fly in the air and swoop down on prey.
* Tank: Large monsters that doesn't attack much but can resist several blows. Usually very fat, very buff, or a mix of both.
* Brute: Big strong monsters that can cause a lot of damage and take a lot of damage, but not as much as the tank.
* Wolfhound: Usually infected canines, but can be other species, these monsters resemble disfigured mutant dogs, often with millions of teeth in there mouths. If they infect something and they become a wolfhound, they automatically form a pack.
* Spider: Spider-like monsters with several legs and large fangs for biting. They can crawl on walls.
* Spitter: Morbidly obese monsters stuffed with infectious fungal ooze that they shoot out from their mouths or any extra holes. May have extra arms with mouths on them.
* Bomb: Monster covered in giant tumorous growths that explode into infectious ooze. Often kills the monster in the process.
* Insect: Infected insects that grown into bigger mutant versions of themselves. This one depends on the bug.

## Cure/Treatment

Magical medicines such as Healing Herbs are highly recommended, though the later the stage, the harder it is to cure.

Keep them away from roses, the scent and touch from roses makes the infection work faster. Don't get attacked by Roseglitch monsters either, the exposure also makes the infection faster.
