Known Properties
The physical substance moves similar to that of some slimes and molds, though incredibly fast. It can travel up walls, around corners, into and out of crevices. It is also shown to be able to somehow animate the dead and use their memories as well as somehow simulate require organ functions to allow the dead body to function. Technologically the substance is able to invade and infest technology both physically and with the use of sophisticated polymorphic virus code.
When operating technology, moving, or animating a dead body the substance acts with a singular will, indicating some form of presence or intelligence that is without corporeal form but is also somehow linked to the substance.
