Scaly Scabs

Scaly Scabs is a hygiene disorder whose specific in-game effects are not yet documented in the data files (the effect field is currently empty). Based on its name and placement in the hygiene disorder category, it likely involves some form of physical ailment that affects the cat's appearance and possibly its stats, interactions with other cats, or susceptibility to other conditions.

Scaly Scabs is heritable and can pass from parent to kitten through breeding. It can also be acquired through events, from dirty nursery environments, or applied with a Disorder Syringe from the Organ Grinder. Hygiene disorders are typically caused by unsanitary living conditions and can be prevented by maintaining a clean nursery with a high Health stat. The 25 hygiene disorders form a distinct category that often involves physical ailments rather than the behavioral effects seen in mental disorders.

Since the effect text is currently empty, players encountering Scaly Scabs should observe its impact in battle and during nursery management to determine its actual effects. If it provides no combat impact, it may function as a cosmetic disorder that only affects the cat's appearance or breeding interactions. In either case, the disorder occupies a slot that could be used for something more beneficial, so replacing it when possible is recommended.
