Scolicrur (pronounced 'SCOHL-eh-cruhr'), coming from the latin words 'Scoli', meaning crooked, and 'Crur', meaning leg. Scolicrur is a gram positive bacterium that is uncommon. This is a mild bacteria formed on animal feces. If an animal is infected, its leg will feel uncomfortable and the animal will be slower than normal. If an animal gives birth while hosting Scolicrur, its offspring will most likely have deformed legs.

Symptoms
This disease infects the pores of an organism, and locks on, and dives deep into the internal organs. It stays dormant for a few months, then slowly, the leg muscle starts to atrophy.

Strains

There is only one strain of scolicrur.

It can only be formed by the right bacteria placed on feces.

Then, the cells will mutate, and fester, creating the right bacteria to be modified.

This is usually found in close-penned animal habitats.

It's like having a dumb leg, only more scientific, interesting, and dangerous... I can see in particular why this thing would pose a serious threat to T'sar's animal life, and I think this is some serious motivation to start genetic modification in animals sooner in T'sar.

Thank you.

That's a very well thought out comment.
