Flesh Jungles

After the pandemic struck, there was a mass exodus away from the cities into the wilderness. As this happened, the mutation spread out as well. The virus, previously only thought to affect humans, was found to also infect the plant and animal life throughout the planet. The virus had a particualarly unpleasant effect of carrying genetic traits across species to the scale of entire animal kingdoms transferring morphology and traits. The result was scaly insects, mammals with mandibles and segmented body structures, humans growing molluscoid shells and leaf-like growths, and plants becoming mobile with multiple pseudo arms. This has dynamically shifted the ecology of the planet to a new mutant food chain. Combined with the devastation of the humsn population, the once endangered wildlife of the planet has spread across the wasteland to form highly volatile jungles and ecosystems of mutant flora and fauna.
