Contaminated Beast

Contaminated Beast (汚染獣) is a type of monster that appears in Mass for the Dead.

Background
Contaminated Beasts are monsters and animals that were mutated by the miasma of the Cracks from the Catastrophe. These monsters serve as some of the major antagonists in the ruined New World as the three surviving nations: Re-Estize Kingdom, Baharuth Empire, and Slane Theocracy struggle to rebuild.

Appearance
Contaminated Beasts are infected by the Catastrophe that affected the world. They come in a multitude of forms, weaker variants are mostly contaminated living creatures that range from humanoid goblins, quadrupedal wolves, lumbering trolls, etc. But a common trait is that they possess glowing red eyes.

Abilities
Contaminated Beasts are stronger and more aggressive than baseline counterparts though are akin to berserkers with high levels of endurance. Additionally, they show no signs of fear, even against superior foes and will continue to attack, risking death.

Trivia

 * Usually, in the game, their appearances are herald by cracks or ruptures in an area of space alongside Chaos Beasts.
 * Some monsters, like slimes, undead, constructs have shown to be immune to the effects of the contaminated gas. So far no cure has been found to rid the effects of contamination, though the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Great Tomb of Nazarick are currently developing a cure.
