10 Video Game Body Horror Fates Worse Than Death
2. Becoming A Fish Incubator - The Secret World
Think The Shape of Water meets The Walking Dead and you’ll be somewhere on the right track to picturing the Draug.
The first of the Draug were born as humans, living in villages and working and warring at sea until the water drew them in, eventually spitting them back out when their conversion was complete.
They are zombie-like creatures inhabiting the deep ocean and venturing out to conquer nearby lands, therefore expanding their population. If you’re killed by a Draug you cannot expect a peaceful death and burial, as once dead you are resurrected as a zombie and implanted with eggs.
As the eggs grow, the corpse swells and bloats until it is time to hatch. At this point, a suitable place is found to lie down and turn into a big egg hotbox before cracking open to release a brand new Draug.
As if regular pregnancy wasn’t gory enough, this adds a whole new dimension to it. It’s a hard pass from us.
