A far larger mutation of the Pathogerm, this squelching, dribbling chain of organs and bacteria is a mobile breeding ground of contagion, constantly developing unique new microbial strains to spew from its smacking mouths. Infectees may experience a range of flu-like symptoms, delirium or even minor epidermal necrosis, and may be commandeered at any time by the monster's consciousness.

   Through its ciliary tentacles, a Germalady may under rare circumstances implant an infected body with the necessary materials to incubate a complete, viable Pathogerm, eventually exiting the host with a violent sneeze.

   Despite a natural resistance to disease, Germalady are strangely wary of "contamination" by bacteria that are not their own, exhibiting severe hypochondriasis and taking great pains to avoid contact with "filthier" organisms, including their own offspring.
