The infection is also spread directly through the Necromorph pathogen – that is, the reanimated cells created by the Markers and which compose the Necromorphs. Additionally, the Markers' pulse can also imprint a self-replicating signal containing blueprints in the minds of suitable individuals, thus leading them to create Red Markers and spread the contagion. This signal also affects the minds of any nearby intelligent life forms, usually manifesting in them as dementia, resulting in homicidal/suicidal actions, essentially setting the stage for the coming Necromorph infection. Necromorphs are structurally held together by the signal, and will degenerate into an 'organic soup' in its absence. These structures broadcast a highly concentrated electromagnetic signal that alters any dead tissue in range on a cellular level, converting it into pure Necromorph tissue and re-animating the corpse of the host organism. The generation of a Necromorph begins with the Markers. And the infector variant has provided a key insight: implanting the material directly into the brain renders optimal results.' -Dr. They have been seen actively searching for food, and resorting to eating anything they can find, even other Necromorphs! Biology Infection, Recombination and Reanimation ' These children of the Marker - Kyne's 'Necromorphs' - have provided all the material I could ask for.

Necromorphs have been observed to eat, even humans, when no other living beings are nearby.

The Necromorphs' motivations are to create a mass of necrotic flesh that can be collected by the Markers during Convergence with the intention of creating another Brethren Moon, perpetuating the Moons' galaxy-wide cycle of extinction. The Necromorphs are controlled via the Markers by a group of entities known as the Brethren Moons, which are massive, highly intelligent beings created after a Convergence Event is initiated by a Marker. They are believed to be the heralds of humanity's ascension by certain Unitologists and individuals suffering from Marker Dementia, but on a more practical level, they are the extremely dangerous result of the exposure of dead tissue to the Markers' signal.

The sole purpose of all Necromorphs is to acquire more bodies to convert and spread the infection. The resulting creatures are extremely aggressive and will attack any uninfected organism on sight. Necromorphs are mutated corpses reshaped into horrific new forms by a recombinant extraterrestrial infection derived from a genetic code etched into and transmitted by the Markers.
