Malignant Derma-Thawing [lowres] (Patreon)

“The MDT is an extremely aggressive infection that mostly affects our personnel working in the deepest crystal mines. Like everything deep, its source is fungal. Said fungi will cause an extremely rapid fur/scale loss, quickly followed by what could be described as a liquefying of the skin and muscles. The process is in fact more than extremely painful. Miners are usually buried alive in droves to prevent surface infection. It is a mercy, albeit a poor one.”
