The Decaying Infected are a skin and characters in Piggy. They were added as a part of The Haunt event and many of them are the main bots of the Decay chapter and the Piggy x M3GAN Event. It is extremely unique as it the only skin to be completely random each time you are selected as the infected, taking on a number of variations.
Appearance[]
Either a wolf, horse or mouse head (each with three different color variations) that may or may not have pupils. If there are pupils, there will either be one or two and the color will vary between yellow, red, or white. However, the skin will always have black sclera and black eyebrows. There are also many scratches on their head, a starved torso, a ripped shirt which can vary in color, a blue pair of pants, and black shoes. In the Piggy x M3GAN Event, they wear scientist labcoats.
History[]
The Decaying Infected are various characters that appear throughout the Decay chapter. They are presumably various people who became infected inside the Metro Stations and are hostile towards Bunny while she was trying to go after Bonnet, who she hallucinated and shot them down with her Crossbow. Based on the ending of Decay, it is possible that they are actually survivors which Bunny is hallucinating as infected.
Obtainability[]
Decaying Infected is obtained by beating the Decay chapter. To escape, you must enter a vent during the second chase scene. You can enter by shooting/chopping down the board blocking the vent using either the crossbow or the axe, and then pressing E to open the vent, and heading to the exit before the Twisted Rabbit gets in.

Trivia[]
General[]
- This is the first skin to:
- Have random traits each time you spawn in as the infected.
- Have an animation for spawning into the map.
- Have a gradient for the shop icon color, the other skins that have this are The Chained, Sheepy (Twilight), Bunny (Twilight), and Skuld.
- Have a unique font for its name in the shop, the others being The Chained, Sheepy (Twilight), Bunny (Twilight), Skuld, and The Jawbreaker.
- Have random animations (beside its stun), the other skin that has this is Sam.
- Have its model change in its shop icon.
- As seen in this YouTube video, there are 2,187,000,000 total combinations for the Decaying Infected skin's design.
- This number can be doubled to 4,374,000,000 for bots, as they can have different arm types.
- This is the third skin that MarcMixy contributed to, the first being Jakayla and the second being Mega Tank.
- According to MarcMixy, he has made 63 animations for these NPCs. The skin doesn't use all of them.
- They are one of the few R15 skins in the game, the others being Mr. P, Silzous, Fergus, and Meisery.
- Sometimes, you won't get the skin even after you finish the Decay chapter. This is most likely due to an unknown bug.
- They are the second skin to have more than one jumpscare sound, the first being Anteo.
- Decaying Infected is the fifth skin to have virtual reality support. The other skins are Silzous, Fergus, Meisery, Mr. P, Sterling, Boris, Percy, Teacher (Decayed), Sheepy (Twilight), and Bunny (Twilight).
Quirks[]
- In the equipped skins menu, the Decaying Infected will show up as its shop icon instead of a Decaying Infected model. It is unknown why this happens, but it is likely because the game clones the shop icon model as opposed to taking the model from ServerStorage, which is believed to be where the skins are stored. In addition, the skin also uses the default R15 idle animation as opposed to a Decaying Infected animation.
- Their shop icon randomizes the skin color, but doesn't show the species in it.
- Due to this, they are one of four skins to have an inaccurate shop icon, with the others being Lisa, Shardantus, and Sheepy (Twilight).
Audio[]
Their soundtrack and jumpscare sound are both Infected Chase by MiniToon.
