Transcript
After the C-Virus turns an infected human into a J'avo, the host will continue to mutate, with the mutation usually occurring in a specific section of its body. When a host's body is damaged, the regenerative properties of the C-Virus will attempt to repair the damage. The repairs replace the normal human tissue with chitinous, insect-like appendages. In some cases, the repairs take on a utilitarian purpose, replacing arms with scythe- or shield-like appendages.

Other reports say that some J'avo sprouted wings and gained the ability to fly.Certain mutations, like the aforementioned wings, have been observed on numerous occasions; the exact number of types of mutations that actually exist is unknown at this time.

The name "J'avo" was given by BSAA Europe's department of research and development.

Piers,

Thanks for the sample of the new mutation. We've already started poking at it to see what makes it tick. It's got all of us here pretty excited, actually.

We're calling those infected with the C-Virus J'avo, which is a Serbian word for "demon." We're also using words from the Serbian language to name any mutation variants that come about. For example, J'avo with sickle-like arms are called Ruka-Srp. Ruka means "arm" and Srp means "sickle." J'avo with moth-like wings for legs are called Noga-Let, where Noga means "leg" and Let means "flight." Serbian sounds pretty great for these creatures, don't you think?

I know you guys out there in the field will probably start using codenames that are easier to remember and make more sense, but don't forget, if a reporter ever asks you "What was that thing with the claw?", don't say it was a Weed Whacker!
