Living victims that ingest Necromorph tissue in large quantities undergo a gradual transformation, eventually dying of starvation and becoming Feeders. While these symptoms do not necessarily ensure the death of the host, they can make it easier for nearby Necromorphs to catch and kill them. In order for the Necromorph pathogen to infect a host body, the host must first be dead for reasons unknown, living victims who come into contact with the microbes do not undergo transformation, although symptoms of paralysis, catatonia, and impaired breathing can occur. Typically, the infection is passed on to new host bodies via specialized Necromorphs such as Infectors or Swarms. The infection is also spread directly through the Necromorph pathogen – that is, the reanimated cells created by the Markers and which compose the Necromorphs. This signal also affects the minds of any nearby intelligent life forms, usually manifesting in them as dementia, resulting in homicidal/suicidal actions, essentially setting the stage for the coming Necromorph infection. Necromorphs are structurally held together by the signal, and will degenerate into an "organic soup" in its absence. These structures broadcast a highly concentrated electromagnetic signal that alters any dead tissue in range on a cellular level, converting it into pure Necromorph tissue and re-animating the corpse of the host organism. The generation of a Necromorph begins with the Markers.

Show me the path to enlightenment as you alter my flesh and free my soul." - Samuel Irons " Holy creatures, transform me into your humble servant. The Necromorphs' motivations are to create a mass of necrotic flesh which can then be collected by the Markers during a Convergence Event with the intention of creating another Brethren Moon, perpetuating their galaxy-wide cycle of extinction. The Necromorphs are controlled via the Markers by a group of entities known as the Brethren Moons, which are massive Necromorphs created after nearly every living organism on an inhabited planet unlucky enough to come into contact with a Marker has been killed and infected.
They are believed by some to be the heralds of humanity's ascension, but on a more practical level, they are the extremely dangerous result of exposure to the enigmatic devices known as the Markers. The sole purpose of all Necromorphs is to acquire more bodies to convert and spread the infection. The resulting creatures are extremely aggressive and will attack any uninfected organism on sight.

Necromorphs are mutated corpses reshaped into horrific new forms by a recombinant extraterrestrial infection derived from a genetic code etched into the skin of the Markers. We're becoming them, and soon, we will all become one." - Nolan Stross
