Shy Virus/Standard

Shy Viruses are one of the several Virus types.

Unlike other Viruses, Shy Viruses tend to avoid invading other computers, instead protecting their own from intruders. Shy Viruses like to have their personal space, and usually don't have a lot of self-confidence.

Additionally, Shy Viruses are the standard class variant of Shy Virus, and are the "mascots" of the Shy Virus species.

Weapons/Abilities
Like many Corruptions, Shy Viruses are capable of infecting Programs and other software both when alive and when deceased. However, Shy Viruses cannot infect other Corruptions. When Shy Viruses infect other software, the software corrupts into a Virus whose type matches that of the original software (i.e. if a Shy Virus corrupts a default Program, the Program will corrupt into a default Virus).

Shy Viruses are also known to wield the following weapons and tools:
 * Virus Data Miner
 * Mines
 * Virus BattleAxe
 * Virus Warhammer
 * Virus Sword
 * Virus Knife
 * Data Chunk
 * Data Star
 * Virus Bat
 * Virus Mace
 * Virus Bit Miner
 * Virus Chakram
 * Virus Hatchet
 * Virus Chain
