Homebrew Diseased Species Details

Diseased are creatures who were infected by a mysterious virus known as the malaise. The disease lives off the life of the host and in return, grants enhanced abilities to the host being. The malaise is very rare as it doesn't spread through anything but blood, but instead lives off it's host until death, in this time inside the host, the malaise creates copies of every memory to the point of creating a mental copy of the host. When the host dies, the malaise takes over with identical memories, ideals, and personality to the original, living for about 60 years. After the host's death, the malaise seems identical to the original and the only way to find out that it's a fake is if you know the original is dead, that they had the malaise, and know of the malaise's properties.
