Neurax Worm

"Manipulative organism that burrows into the brain"

- Description of the Neurax Worm

The Neurax Worm is the first special plague that appears in Plague Inc., version 1.3.

At the start of the game (assuming it's selected), the Neurax Worm will awake from its millennial-long slumber, causing it to enter the human race into the selected country. Its ability to burrow into the host's brain is its main skill, and it increases control over human minds with symptoms ranging from Neural Breach (to cause rapid eye blinking) to Transcendence (to force the infected humans to worship the worm as a god).
