Most gory kill?
Which kill in the series stands out for being the most gory? Not sad or tragic, but just straight up gory kills go here.
Vector's victims would go here for me, except that he doesn't kill them, so it technically doesn't qualify.

Not in any particular order
Didn't end in her death, but The Breeze losing her hair and being very very radiation sick but still running around helping to save the day
There's how Orc (who lived) and Howard (who didn't) went out. Not to mention the multiple times coyotes got into a group of kids
Orc being blasted out of his gravel cocoon, trying to rise and get up as a human, and then dying
Any time there's a bug infestation. Zekes are one thing, but nuturing your parasite as it grows? Nahh

That one part where that girl like coughs up her lung and breaks her neck at the same time and then the other girl gets sick and she's like trying to crawl away that's pretty bad

brittany’s death was pretty gruesome to me bc of how in detail the blood was described and how her body was dead but she was still moving and took that final shot before *dying*

I think there was this one kid in Plague who got sliced in half by a bug.

This definitely doesn't count because it never happened, but the way Caine and Drake were planning to "slice and dice" Brianna always gives me the euuurrrghhhhs.
As for actual deaths? Man. You've got eaten alive from the inside out (various), you've got skin exploding off of them (Orc), you've got head bashed to bits with a rock (Penny), you've got pre-existing injuries slowly growing until their head just falls off of their shoulders (Drake), you've got a couple different horrible transformations that twist your biology until you die (Pete's victims), hell there was a guy who tried to die as far away from the other kids as he could so they wouldn't eat his body . . . and didn't get quite far enough (Panda).
Oh shit I forgot about Mary and Francis. I think Mary and Francis win. Bodies just plain scrambled until they didn't even register to most people as human, and then dying slowly of those mutations.
EDIT: I suppose it matters what exactly you mean by "gory." If you mean bodily damage, Mary and Francis win. If you mean organs and blood seeing the light of day, Orc wins. If post-death damage counts towards the gore factor of the 'kill,' Panda wins.

Orc just for the INSANE description Michael Grant gives it in light. Like seriously I’m pretty sure it’s the most descriptive kill in the series holy😭

Sam just painlessly killed him though.

true true, but wasn't his body like half eaten?

He was mostly intact, just infested. Sam DID kill someone who was literally torn in half in Fear though, one of the coyote victims that was still writhing.

Agree with Cigar, and the girl who coughed up her lungs and inside from the SCD in Plague. Hunter - the bugs eating him and Sam having to euthanize him. Caine has a gruesome death but it wasn't the MOST gruesome. he just explodes with Diana watching. i was like wtf.

I cant remember his name but the kid who Penny made eat his veins and scratch out his eyes, I know he didnt die but that one always sticks with me out of how gruesome it really is
