Pathogen(Team)

The Pathogens are fictional corruptions that enter destroyed or unprotected computers and take whatever they can find of use, like scavengers. Their leader is known as Pardrion. Canonically, Pathogens are descendants from a Malware strain which had eventually developed virus-like qualities over time. The characters themselves grew bigger and bulkier than their ancestors but in turn have become sluggish and lazy once Pardrion had come to rule.

They have two unique classes; the Vaulture and the Barricade

Technical Background
If Pathogens were to exist in real world, they would be small programs that infiltrate computers unnoticed, only to lie dormant until a backdoor or an entirely different infection is found on another computer within the host's network. If the program locates any of these things, it will 'hop' to the infected computer and collect any file and piece of data it can find, growing bigger with everything it destroys. Byte-sized Pathogens who complete their task can reach up to a terabyte in size, but most antiviruses have the ability to terminate this process and stop the infection entirely.

Pathogens cannot replicate on their own and most strains will only activate on highly vulnerable computers in order to preserve themselves for future infection.
