The ferrumphage split from its ancestor and has taken up a parasitic lifestyle. It will lie in wait in an iron-rich pond, bay, or oasis, and when an unsuspecting fauna takes a drink, it ingests the ferrumphage. The ferrumphage then spends its time eating at the iron in the fauna's blood, and the fauna slowly dies. Symptoms of the ferrumphage include vomiting, thirst, and fatigue. The infected animal will likely hang out at an oasis or water source because of the thirst. Thus when the host dies, the ferrumphage can easily move back into the water source, waiting for another host. It can also be transmitted if an animal eats another infected animal. The ferrumphage does not attack plents due to low iron-content.
