Visceroids are the results of uncontrolled, irregular Tiberium mutation. These organisms are essentially a large, unstable body mass, constantly changing their shape and never reaching a stable state. Parts of the original victim may be recognized within the Visceroid, but no way exists to bring the mutated one back.
The Visceroid is formed when a hapless living organism (typically a human or other animal) is overcome by Tiberium fumes and radiation and uncontrolled mutation of its body occurs. These creatures were the only example of tiberium fauna that existed as far back as the First Tiberium War. Visceroids have severely stunted cognitive functions; their only apparent purpose being absorbing any non-visceroid creature it can. To this end, they attack anything around them relentlessly.
A harmless juvenile Visceroid is formed that can mature into an adult if it can merge with another "baby" Visceroid. The adult form is extremely hostile, aggressive and dangerous, attacking anything it perceives as a threat relentlessly and regenerates nearly instantly in Tiberium fields.
By 2047, these mutations have stabilized somewhat, possibly due to Tiberium evolving and changing its shape, and developed a protective shell with three appendages to move. This could also be a result of more advanced technology of the Scrin, as they are a side effect of Corruptor Tiberium spray.
Anecdotal reports exist that portray the Scrin Corrupter vehicle as being able to horrifically mutate humans into Visceroids. As the resultant Visceroids are hostile towards anything and everything this is likely to be an unwanted side-effect for the aliens. Visceroids seem to be the last non-domesticated tiberium fauna left.
In the Final War the Forgotten finally managed to domesticate visceroids, attaching explosives to them so they coudl be used as suicide bombers.[2]
Visceroids are apparently also edible and are barbecued.[3]
