The Plaga Type 3 was a species of a parasitic organism which was genetically engineered by Tricell. Derived from the Spanish Plaga parasite, it was developed in an attempt to remove the weaknesses of the Plaga Type 2 while also enhancing its strengths.[1]
Creation[]
The Plaga Type 3 was created when Tricell implanted a subordinate-strain Plaga with a gene from a control-strain Plaga. Like the normal Plagas, the adherence rate in adult and adolescent males is approximately 92 percent, but for women and young children, Type 3 has a 0% adherence rate. Due to this, Tricell found problems with the type, but their goal to have dramatic physical enhancements were somewhat realized.
Effects[]
Although its limited range of potential victims left something to be desired, the Plaga Type 3 succeeded in its original purpose: vastly increasing the physical abilities of the host. They showed a remarkable improvement in both jumping power and size, with some hosts reaching a height of almost three meters (the Giant Majini of the Ndipaya tribe). On the other hand, Plaga Type 3 hosts developed far more visible mutations in their appearance than Town Majini, such as arms with a flayed appearance and visibly protruding hearts, but they did not appear to be weak spots.
