{{name}} is a [[Fungal Infections|fungal infection]] that can affect a variety of body parts. The infection takes up the infected body slot, preventing items from being equipped to that slot. | {{name}} is a [[Fungal Infections|fungal infection]] that can affect a variety of body parts.

Each time that the infected host would take damage, if there is at least one nearby creature, there is a 25% chance that the host will spew forth a cloud of fungal spores. These spores can in turn infect additional creatures with fickle gill. Stepping in these spores causes one damage per turn, and will aggro neutral creatures towards the spore emitter. All types of damage can cause the fickle gill to puff, including damage from stepping on {{favilink|fractus}} or from [[bleeding]]. This also increases the chance of angering nearby creatures. | Each time that the infected host would take damage, if there is at least one nearby creature, there is a 25% chance that the host will spew forth a cloud of fungal spores.{{Code Reference|class=PuffInfection}} These spores can in turn infect additional creatures with fickle gill.

While the host cannot infect themselves with their own spores, the host ''can'' be re-infected by the spores of their own [[Temporal Fugue]] clones, which can in some cases lead to a rapid proliferation of body parts infected by fickle gill. | While the host cannot infect themselves with their own spores, the host ''can'' be re-infected by the spores of their own [[Temporal Fugue]] clones, which can in some cases lead to a rapid proliferation of body parts infected by fickle gill. | ||
