And as we all know, there is no greater amount of action going on than in a [[OhCrap densely populated area.]] Hence, we got the titanic City Breakers, and that's exactly what they did.
** Not helping is that they all look rather hideous. The Blight has turned simple animals into festering abominations that constantly tear themselves apart only to heal again just to move. BodyHorror is how they live. And Zarius is one of the more biologically well-adjusted kaiju, if you can believe it!

Then contact with this black blood will horribly mutate you into a ravenous AnimalisticAbomination. Are you a mammal like a human? Then the blood will try and fail to alter your body to the point where it'll just give up and cause your face to explode with sludge-filled boils while the rest of your body follows
