Description
Pneumococcus manifests as a tall, skeletal figure encased in distinctive purple armor covering most of its form. Its limbs evoke a grasshopper's structure, terminating in sharp, bird-like talons. Numerous long, thin tentacles tipped with curved blades extend from its back, alongside prominent claws serving as primary weapons. The face remains exposed by the shell, displaying white and gray coloration; all members of this bacterial species share identical physical traits.
This bacterium exhibits highly hostile and destructive behavior, targeting innocent cells to induce illness. While generally aggressive, one individual separated from its group during an invasion displayed specific traits: notably poor navigational skills requiring consultation of bodily maps, mirroring red blood cell AE3803's directional challenges. It reacted with intense anger when ignored, as when AE3803 closed a door after encountering it. During combat with neutrophil U-1146, it accused the white blood cell of "fighting dishonorably" despite its own tactical advantages, suggesting a preference for straightforward confrontation.
Pneumococci first infiltrated the body aiming to invade the lungs. Most were swiftly eliminated by neutrophils in the initial attack. One survivor escaped into a map room, encountering the lost AE3803. After a momentary standoff, it violently broke through the wall pursuing the retreating red blood cell. Confronted by tracking neutrophil U-1146, it deployed a bacterial net and smokescreen to escape. This bacterium then hid inside an oxygen transport box carried by AE3803, remaining concealed until reaching the lungs. There, it emerged, threatened AE3803, and engaged U-1146 in combat. Its protective shell initially resisted the neutrophil's attacks, but U-1146 lured it into the respiratory tract. Trapped within mucus, it was forcibly expelled through a sneeze.
Later, during a skin abrasion incident, multiple pneumococci collaborated with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Dialogue revealed familial connections, with one identified as the younger brother of the previously expelled pneumococcus. All present at the abrasion site were destroyed when platelets sealed the wound with fibrin netting.
Pneumococci wield significant offensive capabilities, employing claws and bladed tentacles to kill defenseless cells and break tissue barriers. Rapid multiplication enables potential full-body invasion within 24 hours under favorable conditions. A critical defense is their polysaccharide cell capsule, offering substantial protection against immune cells like neutrophils. Some generate highly resistant bacterial nets capable of temporarily restraining white blood cells. Their agility aids both combat maneuvers and evasion.
