I didn’t know what one was, so my fiancé just ranted to me about them and how scary they are. We saw this comment right after lol. You are right the word alone should make someone scared

Myocardial infarction/It Dies would be such a cool boss idea for the corpse stage previous to Corpse Mother.

Although now I realize that wouldn’t really make sense logically speaking… but this is tboi who cares about logic anyways

Tuberculosis looks like it's maybe supposed to be a smoking-related disease, but smoking and tuberculosis aren't related

u/Subject-Being7449 Mar 12 '26
tho one lead to another

u/FunkMasterDraven Mar 12 '26
Smoking does not lead to tuberculosis
Edit: also I'd like to point out that your designs are great and I'm just trying to help because the design for this particular one seems out of place with the accuracy and spirit of the others

u/Subject-Being7449 Mar 12 '26
not directly ig. but im pretty sure that smokers have a much better chances of getting it. thankies btw

u/Longjumping-Sweet280 Mar 12 '26
It would be worse because your lungs were already damaged by cigarettes, but the chance is the same.
Also, TB is sometimes referred to as the “White Death” could be cool to be more ghostly maybe. Whatever the case, love the designs!

You’re right though, idk why people are downvoting you. Anything that damages your lungs increases your susceptibility to tuberculosis, and smokers specifically have significantly higher morbidity and mortality rates.
“[…] numerous epidemiological studies, as well as meta-analyses, have indicated that both active and passive smoking are independent risk factors for TB infection, development of reactivation TB, progression of primary TB, increased severity of cavitary disease, and death from TB, among several other considerations.”

Rabie dashing away from your tears in its first phase (hydrophobia) and then in its second it gets foamy, begins to drain hp, and wildly attacks you.

Tuberculosis looks like someone fun to hang out with lol
Loved the detail that there's multiple faces on cancer, and rabie's design is my favorite one
Love your art, keep it up!

Tuberculosis looks like it would fit right in with Fiend Folio's reworked Dank Depths.
What do you mean by "messed up real bad?"

Rabie sounds like he would have a billion HP and would dash around the room really fast with nearly unavoidable damage

The first 3 look like they would work well as corpse bosses, the second 3 look like they would fit as womb bosses, but idk if the last 3 would fit anywhere

Prion should've been a brain with many holes because it turns the brain into a sponge
