Scourge Host Families

One parasite. A graveyard of conquered worlds to wear.

Threat Dossier

The Scourge has no body of its own — only the worlds it has already eaten. Every unit shares the same parasite grammar, but the host underneath comes from somewhere different: a shell-world warrior race, a fungal colony, an industrial machine, an alien titan, a vacuum-adapted ship. Rot-Infested Flesh is the first read of the horde, humanoid bodies split open by growth. Chitin Warhosts bring hooked limbs and blade carapace. Mycelial Spore Hosts breathe out area denial. Machine-Graft Hosts turn stolen tech into living siege. Bone Titan Hosts rebuild megafauna into bosses. Voidship Hosts crossed the dark before the surface war ever began. Same parasite. Endless faces.

Threat Read

Toxic-green cores and parasite nodes are the constant across every host family.
Host material — flesh, bone, armor, metal, fungus, hull, stone, alien anatomy — is always being overwritten, never replaced clean.
Weapons grow out of the host's own body: claws, bone blades, throat sacs, arm-lances, spore vents.
Any threat role can wear any host: a Ripper might be flesh in one game, chitin in another, a voidship in a third.
