This thread is to discuss and come up with various illnesses and disorders that may affect the various species that inhabit Sagan IV, as well as eventually Mason once complex multicellular life evolves. If accepted they could be placed up on the wiki.
Example:
Name(s): Plentosis, Wasting Disease
Description: A skin disorder that occurs in plents and their descendants that perform photosynthesis.
Symptoms: Skin and photosynthetic receptors (leaves, wings, etc...) become yellowish/brownish, sluggish behavior, necrosis of the skin, atrophy of limbs, fatigue, weakness, death.
Causes: Lack of iron in their diet.
Cure: Eating iron-rich food.

I meant complex multicellular organisms. Those have not yet evolved.

I'd assume anything with a nervous system would be called a complex multicellular organism, even if it is primitive.

Nothing like that has evolved yet, and their aren't many illnesses/disorders that affect groups of cells.

A sheet of cells, found under the skin at the top of the organism, now specialize in processing the electrical signals from its various cells, and coordinating movement. |

Heres some others, hope Hydro accepts them.
Name(s): Plentets
Description: A disorder that occurs in plents and their descendants that perform photosynthesis. Typically only afflicts young plents.
Symptoms: Tissue necrosis, stunted growth, premature death.
Causes: Lack of calcium in their diet.
Cure: Eating calcium-rich food.
Name(s): Plentorsis
Description: A skin disorder that occurs in plents and their descendants that perform photosynthesis.
Symptoms: Chlorosis and stunted growth.
Causes: Lack of zinc in their diet.
Cure: Eating zinc-rich food.

I like them all Nergali, you just need to find a species that can evolve into it (probably a Kingdom Eukaryaviruses) and make sure it just makes the hosts sick but not makes them extinct.

I think Nergali's thinking more genetic diseases and ailments caused by diet deficiencies.

Its both. For now I'm doing some dietary ones and such, but I hope we also list some caused by parasites and microbes. Do you guys have any ideas yet?

Do you have any ideas for some Hydro, or perhaps some better names for the ones posted so far?

I think plentorsis and plentosis are too similar though.... perhaps for the one that affects the young plents it should involve their general common name.... which I don't know, and possibly combine it with the word blight or something.
