As Stardust proliferates further into its host, a Charred Maniac will evolve into a Gnawer. At this point, most human features have been stripped away, with only the torso retaining its old human form.
Once its bodily tissue has been completely devoured by Stardust, the Gnawer is overcome by an insatiable drive to hunt down other physical forms, so its Stardust is able to feed.
It is, in part, after this insatiable hunger that the Gnawers were named.
The Gnawer's strongest urge is to spread Stardust - any residual human instincts have already been long forgotten. Gnawers also display extreme aggression against any creature in their vicinity, and will generally attack by attempting to tear the enemy's flesh, or spitting tissue fluid.
