Infected is a term that refers to those who have come into contact with Substance - 128, either by drinking the potion of the substance, by coming into direct contact with the other infected, having an open wound, or (in at least one known instance) by coming into direct contact with Substance - 128 itself. The infected are conscious and remain fully sentient once they are infected but completely lose control of their body, and their eyes change color, usually with black sclerae and pupils in varying colors. Some infected also have iris around one of their pupils, but that is relatively rare, and most of them have it in the form of the Eye of Insolence. The infected are the main antagonists of the first half of Piggy: Book 1. After that, their role is reduced to secondary antagonists for the rest of the Piggy story. In the novels (Piggy: Infected), they appear as minor antagonists to Ben and the other uninfected characters. In Decay, it is revealed that the infected are in a hallucinatory state.

Trivia[]
- The infected are unable to talk. This was revealed for the first time in Carnival, when Pony asks Zizzy whether or not the Player is infected, where upon Zizzy reminds him that the infected can't talk.
- Robby does not count as infected because he is a robot, and as confirmed in Docks, robots like Robby cannot get infected.
- The same applies for Duocara and The Prototype.
- There is a common misconception that the infected are dead. The infected, however, are not actually dead, but possessed, as confirmed on Teacher's chalkboard in School. The infected have their inner thoughts intact and can also write.
- Additionally, MiniToon himself said that the infected 'are not doomed'.
- Most of the infected are either a primary or secondary bot of each chapter respectively. Despite this, there are some chapters where the infected don't show up at all during the gameplay, such as Alleys, Refinery, Heist, Breakout and Mansion. Of these, Refinery is the only one confirmed to take place during the infection, and the only time an infected has appeared in that chapter is during the ending cutscene.
- Before Piggy: Book 2 came out, MiniToon was asked if the infected ever blink, to which he replied with that the question will be answered in Book 2. Since none of the canon infected Book 2 bots blink, this likely confirms the infected never blink.[1]
- Certain infected skins blink, but this is usually from them copying their models from uninfected characters or simple style choices without this fact in mind.
- During one of MiniToon's streams, he made a joke about Tim which led him to say that he's infected and probably doesn't feel pain, which could mean that the infected don't feel pain. Since this was said in a joking matter, the canonicity of this is uncertain.[2]
- Infected presumably have some form of additional resilience as seen by their resistance to gunshots, being impaled by a fencing foil, getting shot by a carrot, immunity to hazards such as acid, lasers, and large falls, and even some like Archie and Zompiggy being alive with otherwise lethal injuries. The True Ending of Plant mentions that the earliest testers of the Linnaeoma cure, which would later cause the infection, gained enhanced strength shortly after consuming it.
