Description
An artist's interpretation of the blight that is the Sockpuppet. In usual terms, a Sockpuppets is the idolatory friend or accomplice of the perpetrator of some heinous crime to canon. They are generally called upon by said criminal to defend his or her breach of common sense/unfortunate lack of cranial capacity/creation of a blatant Mary Sue.

This is a picture of a more severe case: having repeatedly flocked to her idol's side to flame and bitch at its attackers, the subject left herself vulnerable to infection by a primeval Sock Puppet. No one knows from whence these creatures came, but their numbers are fast approaching epidemic levels.

The Sock Puppet virus enters its host through either a small wound or the nasal cavity. While dormant, the Sock Puppet virus resembles a harmless pile of unbundled wool; once active, however, this vicious entity meshes itsel with its host's nervous system, spinal cord and brain, leaving the victim technically brain-dead. The Sock Puppet then manifests itself by 'knitting' two heads for itself on the fore-arms and hands of its host. These heads are the central nervous and thinking centre of the active Sock Puppet, and their bite causes instant infection.

Once a person is infected, there is no hope for them. Like the popularly known 'Zombie', those infected by the Sock Puppet virus are technically dead and actually decompose at the same rate as a cadaver uninhabited by the virus, allowing for the muscular wear and tear of moving about. There is no cure for this fatal, and gruesome, disease.

Research is ongoing as to immunisation against and destruction of the Sock Puppet virus. As it stands, current advise as to dealing with an infected colleague is to run. Fast.

Or not so fast. The virus's hosts, being dead, are not able to move at any gret speed.
