#lore for my beloved body horror creature with a compelling political message of Become Part of The Body Monster

[mmechanicat]

it's crude to call this grotesque contortion of life and death the 'body monster,' but the creature does not have a coherent name. 'she,' as marlie refers to her, is an amalgamation of many people's body parts whose infectious thrall draws victims/recruits/components into the collective biomass. confined to a remote island excluded from most maps, she inhabits the overgrown remains of the early 20th century research compounds from which the monstrosity no doubt emerged. across the island, scientists still observe the organism from afar but keep her starved of additional bodies--until a commercial jetliner crashes on the island.
