MCP-RV-008

Mammoth Containment Protocol Reanimation Virus 008 is the name given to a strand of Feral Class Reanimate and is of Medium Contagium. It is by far the most effective of the Reanimation Viruses currently held in MCP laboratories, due to the agile lethality of its victims and the 55% transmission rate.

MCP-RV-008 is often used as a foundation for the creation of other reanimation viruses, given its molecular stability and immune resistances.

First encountered in 1957 during the Originator Incident it has gone through several reiterations since its first discovery. It is thought that the Times Square Biological Terrorist Attack of 2005 employed a variation of MCP-RV-008.
