Description: 483 is a 1'1 worm-like creature with incredible infectious properties. Upon noticing lifeforms around it, it will release microscopic copies of DCP-483-2. 483-2's will attempt to burrow into the detected life form's skin. Upon entry, 483-2 will release "eggs". these grow into more copies of 483-2, which plant more eggs. in a matter of hours, the victim's insides will be swarming with 483-2 instances. These copies take on the disguise of white blood cells, while the original 483-2 continues growing. Some 483-2's begin feasting on the victims organ to create even more of themselves, while the rest try to find another host to expand the colony. The total lifespan of a host after getting the disease is 5~ hours. Introduction of lead or salt appears to kill many 483-2 instances before they can get far.
