 I think I have discovered why Grombies are Grombies instead of Zombies.
As we all know the G virus was originally created as a cell combiner that merges two samples of DNA
keeping the strengths of both samples and supressing their weaknesses.
That being said let's move on to how that's relevant to Grombies.
A Grunny is actually a parasite that controlls a host Gaian.
They latch on to the host's head and inject the G virus secreted from a gland
in their head, through the tounge and into the host's brain.
This controlls the host and the virus merges the Grunny's DNA with the Gaian's creating what we call a Grombie.
-THE VIRUS TRANSMITTION PROCESS-
1. Grunny has a gland that releases the virus.
2. The virus is transmitted through the Grunny's tounge.
3. The virus starts to dispurse through the host's brain.
Using the strength of the human and the enhanced sense of smell, taste, sight and hearing of the Grunny
it makes perfect sense that a Grombie would look as they do.
Hell, I bet they can jump like crazy too.
This means the host is still alive and infact not a zombie at all.
If you look at the Grunny counter from the event you'll notice that
the first stage of Grunnifaction is impared motor function.
That means they would stagger and stumble like a zombie.
I. The Grunny infects the host
II. The host experiances loss of motor function.
III. The host is completely incompacitated allowing the grunny to take controll.
IV. Genetic mutation starts to take place as the G virus merges the Grunny cells with the Human cells.
V. Grunny assumes complete controll of the completely mutated host.
So in essance the Grombie is a Grunny-human hybred controlled by the Grunny parasite.

That all makes perfect sense.

Kudos to you.

So, what if someone was Injected with the G-virus but wasn't bitten by a Grunny? Would it be a grombie yet have self control? Or some "Interesting" side effects may occur that could only be imagined by the famous horror movie mind of Eli Roth?

Agent Manketsu So, what if someone was Injected with the G-virus but wasn't bitten by a Grunny? Would it be a grombie yet have self control? Or some "Interesting" side effects may occur that could only be imagined by the famous horror movie mind of Eli Roth? If injected with just plain virus nothing would happen.
It only combines cells.
If the virus had grunny DNA in it when it was injected the host would mostl likely turn into some kind of Grombie type creature.
I believe that the grunny's version of the virus that is transfered to the host
has a special agent that causes the paralisis.
If the sample injected was drawn directly from a Grunny then it'd most likely transform the host
like it normaly would but the host would unable to move.

I posted almost all of this in the GCD to get some opinions.

In addition to the sequence of DNA involved in the genomic merging of the two hosts, that paralysis effect could be also built into the viral genome itself... but if it specifically targeted brain tissue cell receptors instead of just any cells, it might provide the effect you explained? Therefore random injection into non brain tissue would prevent that traditional transformation since the virus can't properly bind to the host cells?

I read somewhere on the forums that the Grunny actually injected you with the virus and a Grunny incubated in your brain stem and then burst out through the back of the skull.

So, if the G Virus could be transmitted through another parasitic creature, rather than a grunny, would the effects be different?
How intelligent must the grunnies be?

As a grombie, not only are we infected with a G-virus variant that's combined with Grunny DNA, why we had to be bitten by grunnies to be infected, we also have a grunny fetus in our brain.
That's why stage 5 has the full grown grunny feeding on their brain and stage 4 has the ears and mouth.

I've heard alot of talk around Gaia about the Grunny growing in the head and bursting out of the back.
If that was true then the brain would be completely destroyed and in the x-ray
that's clearly not the case.
I was also told that a level four has the shape of a grunny in the back of thier head.
If anyone knows a level four I'd love if you could ask them to turn around and save a pic so we can see this.

I knew something was injected, I just didn't know what... Kudos, again. heart

Wow, great idea.
Personally, I doubt the grunny busts out the back of your head at stage 5, I think it's the grunny that takes over your body that is shown on your avatar at that stage.

As we said in the GCD. The grunny grows in the back of the brain and then bursts out of the head, now being part of your skull in a sense, tHEY control you. When the Grunny is fully developed it can discard us if it wanted, but why lose a host as good and hand as a sort of super human.
The back of the stage 4 show a developing Grunny in the back of the head of the Avatar. And who knows, perhaps the bunny gets out before it damages the brain? Or even the X-ray just shows a Grunny injecting the virus directly into the head?
I for one, don't think this theory is true.

Actually I'm trying to get a pic of the back of a level four to prove the incubation theory.
I just want to figure it out is all.
