Scourge communicate via complex, highly-modulated, multi-spectra electromagnetic waves, which only works in close proximity to other Scourge. This explains the erratic behavior of late-stage Scourge - as the parasite's grip on its host weakens, the host's invariably-insane psyche begins to break through. Horrifyingly enough, a measure of human consciousness survives underneath the Scourge's domination, leading the host to endure an existence of pain and suffering until their death. Due to the disruptive nature of this process, most Scourge that exhibit these symptoms are euthanized by their fellows.Ĭurrently, there is no way to remove a Scourge parasite safely from a host - any attempt to do so always results in the host's death. When the parasite dies, the host dies shortly afterwards, wracked with insanity and pain. Close to the end of their lifespans, Scourge will begin to lose control of their hosts, leading to erratic and jerky behavior. Scourge parasites prolong the lives of their hosts, though they themselves still age and can live for several centuries. "Pure" Scourge parasites that are past the larval stage are implanted directly into their various war machines, which they can control just as easily as a host (though some larger weapons require multiple parasites). Though humans are obviously favoured as hosts, the Scourge can infest a wide variety of carbon-based lifeforms, including the so-called "Lizard Warriors" seen during their original invasion, Razorworms, and Destroyers.
DROPZONE COMMANDER WIKI SKIN
Late in a Scourge parasite's lifespan, the skin of their host will begin to rupture, revealing black spikes of hardened material that may be the Scourge physically outgrowing its host. Hosts lose the ability to produce colour pigment over time, causing their eyes to turn red and their skin to become pallid. Though Scourge-controlled hosts appear normal at first, external characteristic swiftly develop that give their possession away - namely, a heightened thirst, coupled with constant sweating.
DROPZONE COMMANDER WIKI HOW TO
Over the next several weeks, the Scourge parasite will develop into a web of gelatinous fibers bound to the host's nervous system as it learns how to use its host's body. These larval Scourge enter prospective hosts through the ear canal, burrowing through the soft tissues of the head before entering the brain, eventually binding to the spinal cord.

These creatures can survive for their full lifespan without a host, indicating that they may have evolved their neuro-parasitic abilities late in their species' development however, only larval Scourge may successfully possess a host. 5Gs, a Scourge parasite cannot move outside a liquid, making "pure" Scourge unsuited to battlefields. Outside a host, Scourge parasites are boneless creatures with bodies made of a black, tarlike substance, surrounded by tendril-like extremities. A pure Scourge parasite undergoing autopsy.
