This page contains many lore elements that are not considered part of the new, official lore. It's very unlikely that it will still be considered canon for new lore, but will maintain relevance in old lore.
Muscle Viruses are one of the several Virus types. They are reddish-pink and monstrous. Additionally, Muscle Viruses are the standard class variant of Muscle Virus, and are the "mascots" of the Muscle Virus species.
They are savage beings who prefer ripping their prey apart with their bare hands rather than using weapons, and they generally have significantly less intelligence than other types of Viruses. They are also stronger and larger than other types of Viruses. Their hostile demeanor frightens weaker opponents.
Weapons/Abilities[]
Ground Smash - Muscle Viruses have the ability to perform an AOE "Ground Smash" attack by slamming their fists into the ground, which causes a cloud of reddish-pink dust to rise from the ground.
Megapunchers - Muscle Viruses have the ability to punch their enemies with their fists, called "Megapunchers".
Additionally, like many Corruptions, Muscle Viruses are capable of infecting Programs and other software both when alive and when deceased. However, Muscle Viruses cannot infect other Corruptions. When Muscle Viruses infect other software, the software corrupts into a Virus whose type matches that of the original software (i.e. if a Muscle Virus corrupts a default Program, the Program will corrupt into a default Virus).
