Black-Horn

The Black-Horn Disease is a deadly disease that is prevelant in the Asterionite Tsardom. It is a parasite that starts in the horns of the Minotaurs (Skin on Niloticus) and is described in three stages. First, there is the well known and easily identified grey to charcoal spots that form on the horns, this usualy lasts for around a year. Secondly, the parasite begins to spread to other parts of the body, usually in the lungs and working outwards. There can be internal pain and cramps that can be very discomforting to the Minotaurs. The Last stage, known as the 'Culmination', where it is now impossible to save the afflicted. This stage can cause several organ failures before they die and is described as the most painful discomfort ever experienced.

It can be noted that this Disease is not known to affect anyother race, but the Strigol are blamed for spreading it to the Asterion Home Planet during the first contact.
