History
The rabids are humans who, after the Darkness was released, became homicidal. Only people around the town of Superior, Nebraska appear to be affected. Sam began searching for a cure, especially after he was infected as well, eventually gaining a clue from the reaper Billie: rabids are "unclean in a biblical sense." Searching the Bible online, Sam found that holy fire could be used for a biblical purification and tried it on himself. The holy fire destroyed the rabid infection in Sam's body and after curing a small group of rabids for help, Sam successfully cured the surviving people in town.
Characteristics
Rabids can be characterized by the black tendrils that run up their necks and and head. While they have increased aggression, they do not appear to be mindless zombies, as they have been shown to have enough composure to drive vehicles. The mutation, however, does have a shelf-life with the infected dropping dead hours after fully succumbing to it. The rabids can be stunned by electricity like any human and be restrained by chains. Rabids can be cured by close proximity to holy fire.
Powers and Abilities
- Increased aggression
- Infectious bite or scratch
- Infectious blood
Weaknesses
- Normal human weaknesses
- Proximity to holy fire (cures infection)
Episodes
11.01 Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire
11.02 Form and Void
Having been infected, Sam begins searching for a cure for the rabids, capturing an infected man named George to find information on the condition. Sam's efforts prove to be fruitless and he is informed by a reaper namrd Billie that he is "unclean in a biblical sense" and will die. Sam desperately prays to God for help but aside from a vision of him being tortured that he does not understand, finds no answers. As the rabid infection starts to consume him, Sam remembers what Billie said about him being "unclean in a biblical sense" and searches the Bible for biblical purification. Sam finds that holy fire can be used for such a purification and uses a sponge doused in holy fire on himself. The holy fire burns away the infection and cures Sam. Now with a viable cure, Sam lures three rabids into the hospital chapel and traps them in a ring of holy fire. The holy fire cures the three and they set out to cure the surviving rabids in Superior.
