Cootie Kids

Cootie Kids were the antagonists of the 2014 film Cooties. They were all students who's grades vary from Kindergarten to 5th Grade at Ft. Chicken Elementary School. They were infected by a food-borne virus that transforms children into zombie-like monsters. The main Cootie Kids consisted of Shelly (Cooties), Patriot (Cooties), and Dink (Cooties), who were the first children to contract the virus.

Biography Pre-Infection, the children were probably just normal children who were attending school at Ft. Chicken Elementary School. During lunch one day, a 4th grader named Shelly inadvertently infects herself with virus being housed in a chicken nugget. Throughout the day she began to gain blisters, eye bags, and phlegm. This caused her to be bullied two of classmates, Patriot and Dink. She had self-restraint over her actions until Patriot torn one of her ponytails out of her scalp, which resulted in her biting a piece of his cheek off, infecting him with the virus. Later during recess, Shelly, who's condition has worsened, beings digging around the fence. When Dink confronts her she gashes his cheek and infects him. They begin spreading the virus across the playground. The body count grows as the infected pupils kill the teachers. Wade, the PE teacher, is able to outrun the kids and lock them outside as the other teachers watch from the teachers lounge. Wade makes it back only to be attacked by Patriot, but the staff manage to shut him up in a locker, but not before Patriot kills Ms. Burke. They make it to the library and discover Calvin, the only non-infected child, and escape upstairs. Patriot breaks out and unlocks the doors, allowing the children inside. What follows is a bloody war...

Personality

Before the virus, the Cootie Kids were probably normal children. When they contracted the virus, they became sadistic, brutal, monstrous, and surprisingly gleeful about killing.

Appearance

After gaining the virus, the children begin rotting and developing blisters and black veins all over their bodies. The kids are almost never seen without blood on them unless it was pre- infection.
