SlugPox

A curse from a flagged god: boils that birth toothed, talking slugs a level higher each time ('Stay away from my daddy!'), cured for ten thousand gold by a church that also sells a secret ring against it — and kept, deliberately, as a weapon: Super Spreader on Quan Ch, and a DJ's better version on a locked room of strippers to breed an infantry of hatchet-wielding Sluggalos. 'Chop, chop, bitches!'
