Visceroids are the results of uncontrolled, irregular Tiberium mutation. Visceroids come in two varieties based on their size: juvenile and adult.
Official description[]
Juvenile Visceroid[]
First of the two phases in the Visceral life cycle, this harmless form dwells in rich Tiberium fields. The Visceroids' origin and only means of reproduction are through an irregular mutation of a terrestrial animal. Visceroids vary in size according to that of the mutated animal, but each share the same body structure: Visceroids are essentially a single, massive cell, conducting locomotion via pseudopods. Hence they can be referred to as giant Amoeboids. Unlike the adult form, a juvenile Visceroid cannot use its pseudopod for attack nor defence.
Research shows that the juvenile Visceroids absorb Tiberium particles directly through the cell wall, acting as the creature's primary and only source of nutrition. Like other Tiberium based life, it also possesses the fascinating ability of rapid cellular regeneration through Tiberium absorption and fixation into living tissue.[1]
Adult Visceroid[]
Second of the two phases in the Visceral life cycle, this form is dangerous to approach. Born of the fusion of two juvenile Visceroids, the adult form has twice the mass and twice the strength. It's aggressive by nature, and has the ability of using its pseudopods to attack and kill anything it sees as a threat. How it actually senses remains a mystery, as these abominations are impossible to capture. They can simply slip through nets and cages with their irregular and constantly morphing body.
Research shows that the adult Visceroids absorb Tiberium particles directly through the cell wall, acting as the creature's primary source of nutrition. It has also been seen to cause terrestrial animals to mutate into juvenile Visceroids by attacking and enclosing them with its protoplasm. Like other Tiberium based life, the Visceroid also possesses the fascinating ability of rapid cellular regeneration through Tiberium absorption and fixation into living tissue.[1]
