Is there disease in the MU?

Aside from the “elemental”-based shadow leeches that -kinda- “infect” creatures, are there diseases, either parasitic (organic) or mechanical (like a computer virus), in the MU? Has this been defined, or am I free to just make up what I want without triggering people?

Well, we know that “Contact with the Zyglak’s skin can cause the spread of an organic protodermis-destroying disease.” It was mentioned on the Encyclopedia Updated page 160, under the “Zyglak” entry.

Yes there are. That is what Mask of Healing is for.

Is there clarification? Something like what kind of disease it would be - similar to a computer virus or the kind that irl animals get ('rona time baby)?

I believe they’re more like actual illnesses, for example, the infected kohlii resulted in realistic sympotms. As a matter of fact, it was actually called the Po-Koro epidemic, but then again, it IS from MNOG, so that may not be canon.

Maybe covid is the kohli virus!

The only thing I remember about it is that diseases in MU are not transmitable to SM inhabitants and vice versa.

BIONICLE is the disease.

Considering they’re biomechnical, both are options.

The main one I can think of was the dreaming plague, but that’s not in the MU…
