Code name for vampire
People infected by PHANG syndrome are not undead.
☀PHANGs are vulnerable to UV light but not to religious symbols or garlic. They must consume blood to create a contagion pathway to another person. The V symbiote then eats microscopic holes in the victim’s brain until they develop progressive dementia and die. PHANG syndrome provides resistance to geasa and immunity to K-syndrome. Another side effect is arithmomania, the compulsion to count things.
