Day 11 - Least favourite creature?

Future Fungus

The fungus is parasitic, extremely aggressive and eats through the flesh of anything that touches it. As soon as someone does touch it, it instantly begins converting them into a shell that is loosely human shaped, but has lost all human features and intelligence, relying on instinct. In other words, the fungus effectively kills the host once it has transformed. The ARC team thought that heating the creatures would kill them, but it only advanced their reproduction. In the end,    freezing them was the solution.

After freezing the fungus instead, they found it worked and prepared the ARC to freeze the captured creature, only for it to escape and attack Jenny before it succumbed to the cold.
