The Strange Bite Mark is a physical ailment that eventually turns the afflicted companion into an Abomination. The mark is acquired in several ways:
- Looting a shrine with elongated shadows
- Accepting a hug when resting overnight in a village
- Consuming a red mushroom at low Sanity
- Getting the Bleeding debuff during combat with an Abomination
- As a random insanity event (when Sanity drops to 0)
The mark's incubation period is random and can turn its host in a matter of days, or persist over multiple expeditions without ever advancing. It can be cured with a First Aid Kit, resting at Healing Springs, or being healed at a Shaman Hut.
