dead space ignition franco survives only to get killed by a necromorph

Necromorphs are named after 'necro' - which means dead and 'morph' - which means form making their literal name 'dead forms': as their name implies Necromorphs are similar in many ways to zombies, but are not undead - instead, they are a unique form of alien life but are just as dangerous to the living due to their desire to spread and their parasitic nature. They are a parasitic species that come in a variety of forms ranging from tiny barely humanoid monstrosities to hulking abominations and are capable of infecting dead bodies in order to make new Necromorphs and are highly resistant to damage: the best means of defeating most Necromorphs is dismemberment, also in order to prevent new Necromorphs from spawning it is wise for a player to destroy any corpses they come across.Īccording to an in-game description that two types of Necromorphs exist, those that exist to infest dead bodies and those that exist to create new corpses - in other words, Necromorphs kill other species in order to survive.ĭespite their single-minded crusade to eliminate all other species and monstrous mass murdering nature, the Necromorphs are worshipped as Gods by Unitology, a massive universal religion, and aids in helping the Necromorph population grow as part of their apocalyptic prophecy, even at the cost of Earth and all of mankind as many of them such as Challus Mercer or Daina Le Guin wanted to spread the Necromorphs on the Earth (Mercer) or in the entire universe (Daina). The Necromorphs are the main antagonists of the Dead Space franchise.
