Intro Several different "Sonic Infested" or "Sonic Infection" AUs (Alternate Universes) exist within the Sonic fandom. Here's a breakdown of some key facts based on the search results: Common themes and elements Parasitic/Infectious threat: A central theme involves a contagious entity, often described as a parasite or a virus, that infects characters and drastically changes them. Corruption and loss of control: Infected characters often lose their autonomy, succumbing to the control or influence of the parasite/virus, leading to unpredictable or violent behavior. Dark and often gory depictions: The stories tend to be dark and can include graphic depictions of transformation, violence, and blood. Specific examples and details The "Rot" AU (Contaminated! AU by WeirdozJunkary): This AU centers around "The Rot," a black, mucus-like parasitic entity that assimilates living creatures, eventually reducing them to puppet-like forms with pale skin and unsettling smiles, according to the FC/OC VS Battles Wiki. It spreads through physical contact and rapidly devours the host's insides, leading to death within approximately three days. Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the first victims, followed by Tails and the Chaotix Detective Agency. Shadow is also infected but resists full assimilation for some time, likely due to his nature as the Ultimate Lifeform. The Rot is resistant to extreme temperatures, drugs, and alcohol but vulnerable to Chaos Energy. The Infested comic (by FlightyAlrighty): This comic features a scenario where Shadow is infected and encounters a blood-covered Sonic. The story is described as violent and bloody, according to Reddit. The Dark Gaia Infection AU: This AU is tied to the events of Sonic Unleashed, where Dark Gaia's energy and monstrous "nightmares" carry a rapidly spreading infection. Infection through skin piercing leads to full assimilation within 48 hours.
