User:Ebon Shadowshot/Tyranak Disease

Tyranak Disease is a disease only catchable by the Nartol, Saulosian and Sangheili species. It is caught when the blood of a Tyranak fish enters the blood stream of the victim. It then spreads through the body, damaging blood streams and muscle tissue. Eventually, this leads to patches of the skin rotting off completely, but because the body is still alive, it is repaired and broken constantly. While this is seen as a downside, Tyranak disease actually supports the organs, meaning the bearer can live as long as they have the disease. After arond 50 years, patches of skin will never repair, making the appearence of death. Eventually, the Tyranak fish species died out 230 years prior to the Human-Covenant War. The majority of the Nartol afflicted then died from different causes. The only identified victim is Hel 'Thuzad.

Tyranak disease is spread like Advanced Immune Deficiency Syndrome (or more commonly known as AIDS), through semen, vaginal fluid or blood entering open wounds.

Tyranak disease can also make the organs of dead people work again, including the brain (to a very small extent), which will bring the person back to the world of life. Hel 'Thuzad actually purposly infects fallen people of the Cult of the Black Sea to bring them back. Because the dead brought back to life have very limited brain capacity (a small bit less than that of an Unggoy or Dog), Hel uses them as his personal minions for eternity.
