the biggest threat in this rpg is the Cordyceps Fungus: The Cordyceps brain infection (abbreviated as CBI) is a parasitic fungal infection that has devastated mankind. In The Last of Us, a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus began to spread in the United States in late September 2013. The Cordyceps originated from South America, carrying into humans through infected crops. Joel and Sarah Miller's local newspaper in Austin, the Texas Herald, reported on the infection, stating on the front page of the September 26 edition: "Admittance spikes at area hospitals! 300% increase due to mysterious infection" followed by the article "FDA expands the list of contaminated crops. Several months later, roughly 60% of humanity was either killed or infected by the fungus, later medically referred to as Cordyceps brain infection.

The fungus grows while the host is still alive, with hosts undergoing four stages of infection. Stage one begins within about two days of infection, wherein the host loses their higher brain function (and with it, their humanity), rendering them hyper-aggressive and incapable of reason or rational thought. Within two weeks, the host enters stage two of the infection, wherein the fungus begins altering their sight as a result of progressing fungal growth over the head and corruption of their visual cortex. After a year of infection, the infection enters stage three; scarring their face and blinding them, resulting in them developing a primitive form of echolocation to compensate. In very rare cases, if the host survives for over a decade, they reach stage four. They develop hardened fungal plates over most of their body. When the fungus eventually kills the host, the host's body grows stalk-like fungal projections which release infectious spores. The infection can also be spread through bites from living hosts. Hosts can only be infected while alive, as the fungus is unable to infect dead bodies due to its parasitic nature, though dead infected can release spores regardless of stage.

To protect themselves from airborne spores, survivors wear gas masks. The infection seems unable to spread in open air areas, such as the countryside, although some of these areas (such as Lincoln and a suburban neighborhood in Pittsburgh) possess a high population of infected. The infection mostly thrives in underground or enclosed areas commonly avoided by people, especially sewers, subway tunnels, and some buildings.

The fungus could also infect animals, notably monkeys. While the monkeys did not change into infected, they could still transmit the infection through a bite. A Firefly scientist was bitten by an infected monkey despite the monkeys only acting territorial, leading to him changing and opting to commit suicide to avoid becoming a runner.

The fireflies: The Fireflies are a revolutionary militia group featured as an antagonistic faction in The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II. They revolted against FEDRA's rule in many quarantine zones around the United States. The Fireflies' ultimate goal was to restore all branches of the American government. However, they were largely unsuccessful in their war against FEDRA.[2] The Fireflies worked with several other post-outbreak paramilitary groups to combat FEDRA's oppression. However, these alliances had mixed results, with rioters tending to revolt against the Fireflies after FEDRA was usurped,[3] while the Washington Liberation Front remained amiable allies. The Fireflies were also searching for a vaccine for the Cordyceps brain infection (CBI) and did whatever it took to accomplish it. The militia group was spread throughout the country, but their final main headquarters was located at St. Mary's Hospital in Salt Lake City. To identify members in their group, the Fireflies often wear yellow or green clothing, similar to the glow of real fireflies. Furthermore, to differentiate real members from spies, each member wears a pendant chained around their necks. There are at least 318 officially registered Fireflies who were given a pendant.

Main threat: The infected. The infected are the result of a sudden outbreak of a mutant Cordyceps fungus that leaped from insects to humans. The fungus reportedly originated in South American crops; various newspapers in Austin in 2013 support this claim. The fungus infects the human brain, growing mycelium inside the brain tissue and killing the brain's cells. The host's memories are erased and they become highly aggressive, with their motor functions now devoted solely to finding uninfected organisms and spreading the infection to them. Eventually the fungus kills its host; their dead body provides fertilizer for large fungal infestations that rapidly spread through enclosed spaces.

The fungus quickly became a worldwide pandemic, decimating the general population and creating panic. The initial infection caused the total breakdown and destruction of society, inciting widespread violence. Martial law failed to contain the outbreak and humans were brought to the brink of extinction. In response, the United States military merged its operations with the Federal Disaster Response Agency, resorting to violence, censorship, and totalitarian rule to preserve what remained of the country. Initially, heavily populated areas were bombed and quarantine zones (QZ's) were established in large cities to ensure protection from infection. Subsequently, in response to the formation of FEDRA and the military's oppression, a militia group called the Fireflies was created. The group focuses on waging war against the de-facto government, though most of their efforts are futile given their inferior numbers and resources. Still, they believe they can end oppression through the creation of a vaccine and is one of the last groups to be actively studying the infected and searching for a cure.

For people who have been exposed to the mutated strain of Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis, the fungus attacks the brain and hijacks the host's motor functions, altering their behavior. The host then goes through different developmental stages depending on how long they've been infected: runner, stalker, clicker, and bloater or shambler; each stage more dangerous than the last. Ellie is the only known human who has an apparent immunity to the fungus, despite being infected for over five years. There is also the unique rat king stage.

The infection spreads through direct contact with an infected, via a bite, or indirectly via airborne fungal spores released by a corpse. These spores can quickly infect an individual, making breathing difficult and movement sluggish within only minutes of exposure in spore-dense areas.

Upon being bitten, the infection will spread through the new host's body, gradually turning them into a runner over a period of two days. The bitten area will turn red and black, causing the host to sweat profusely and become disoriented. Their eyes may sting and a decrease in motor function makes it difficult for them to write, while irritability and aggression increase. Immune hosts n are unable to pass on the infection even when biting other individuals.

Spore development is the last stage in the life cycle of the infected. Once the host has expired, the lifeless carcass serves as a breeding ground for the fungus to spread into the environment. When near death, an Infected will find dark, moist corners to die in. While this may be the end for the host, the fungus continues to grow and spores erupt into the air, infecting anything that comes near. These areas tend to be underground or within dank, abandoned buildings. Living in the QZ's provides safety for the populace since there is significant airflow and restriction to underground facilities.

In order for the fungus to infect and control a host's body, the host must be alive. According to the Center for Disease Control, the victim can only become infected by inhaling the spores directly or coming into contact with bodily fluids from an Infected, usually from a bite. Infected individuals must be exposed to specific environmental conditions in order to progress to the next stage of infection; otherwise, they may stay at one stage for an extended period of time. This is presented in the large number of runners within Lincoln and Jackson.

Because their bodies have become so enveloped in fungal growth, Infected are vulnerable to fire. However, the unique rat king stage is so immense in fungal growth that it can survive extensive exposure to fire, able to charge through flames with only minor stagnation.[10]

Humans infected with the Cordyceps fungus undergo various unsightly mutations which increase in severity the longer the host has been infected. Runners appear to experience hair loss, discolored skin accompanied with lesions, and bloodshot eyes. Stalkers can be seen with significant fungal growth around their eyes and shoulders. Skin will begin to peel from the face, sometimes causing the nose to fall off, as the fungus begins to break open the skull. Clickers are horrifically disfigured by the infection. By this stage, the skull has been split open due to advanced fungal growth on the brain, growing over or outright destroying the host's eyes, leaving only a maw of teeth which are rotten and jagged. Their skin is covered in mold and scaly fungal growths. The fungal growth on bloaters is so advanced that it hardens into a thick armor-like plating, while also causing the body to bloat excessively in order to support the massive weight of the growths. Clusters of pods filled with mycotoxin will begin to sprout from the body, which can be ripped off and thrown by the host The fungus also seems to offer the host some protection against the elements, such as the cold. When the host is killed or dies from advanced fungal growth, the fungus continues to grow throughout the body, eventually emitting spores.

Following infection, victims gradually lose any ability to think freely and begin to behave irrationally as the fungus spreads in the brain and hijacks their motor functions. Relying on primitive, animalistic instincts caused by the infection, they will attempt to attack and/or eat any human they find. This becomes most prominent at the clicker and bloater stages. Clickers can often be seen erratically twitching and sometimes clawing at the fungal growth covering their face, strongly suggesting that there is some vestigial elements of the host attempting to resist the fungus even in later stages of infection. By the time an Infected has evolved into the clicker stage, they develop a primitive form of echolocation due to their blindness and produce loud clicking and croaking sounds, which survivors can clearly hear. Survivors can also evade detection by these Infected as long as they remain silent. According to Jerry Anderson, fungal-growth in the limbic regions normally accompanies the prodrome of aggression in infected patients.

The infected, while having a higher pain tolerance than ordinary humans, are still susceptible to injuries and can be killed through conventional means. A runner, when not attacking survivors, will moan in pain due to the fungal growth deforming its body and clickers will struggle while being shivved. Sometimes infected that still have their entire face intact look remorseful or distressed as they attack, indicating that the infected are aware of what they are doing, but cannot control themselves. Gunshots are capable of startling runners and stalkers, indicating that feelings like fear are still prominent in the early stages of infection. All stages of infected will flail and scream wildly when set on fire or severely wounded. The body of an infected will spasm violently when the host is killed. The infected have also developed sensitive hearing, as they can hear sounds that normal survivors cannot, such as the player hurdling nearby obstacles.

Sometimes, an infected may enter a state of extreme torpor, especially if trapped inside of a building, often attaching themselves to walls and laying dormant. While dormant, the fungus will rapidly sprout from the host, which will eventually calcify and kill them. If stimulated, the infected can break out of this dormant state and roam again. This behavior is seen particularly in stalkers.[ Runners exhibit similar behavior, laying dormant beneath snow until alerted by prey.

Type of infected:

Runner: Runners are people who recently turned into infected. They are defined by their intense speed, sluggish attacks, and tendency to attack people in hordes.

Stalker: Stalkers are people who have been infected from somewhere between two weeks to a year. Per their name, they stalk and hide from prey in the dark and attack at opportune moments. Some also latch onto walls and allow the Cordyceps to fester, keeping the host alive until prey walks by, at which point the stalker breaks free and attacks.

Clicker: Clickers are people who have been infected for at least one year. The long time elapse has allowed the fungus to spread all over their bodies, blinding them and forcing them to use echolocation to find prey. However, the fungus has granted them enhanced strength, making them fearsome foes in close-quarters combat.

Bloater: Bloaters have been infected for several years. The fungus has led them to become slow and blind, yet incredibly strong and resilient with the fungal growth serving as armor plating. Bloaters can also tear fungus from their bodies to use as spore bombs and throw them at their enemies. However, this additional fungal growth makes them vulnerable to fire.

Shambler: Shamblers are people who have been infected for several years and typically inhabit areas thriving with water. While not as physically enhanced as clickers or bloaters, shamblers are able to grapple prey and expel large spore clouds from their bodies, which cause acidic burns on the skin of prey. When killed, the spores explode, releasing a final burst of Cordyceps into the air. Rat king The rat king is a unique stage of infected that developed in the Seattle hospital after over twenty years of infection. Formed from several infected combining into one, the rat king is colossal in strength and size, and able to take extensive damage from fire, bombs, and guns. Even after taking much damage, it does not die, but instead, its various infected parts will start to break off from the larger mass and attack along with it.

Each type of infected can be killed by damaging them enough, any type of damage helps.
