===Healing=== Lung could heal almost any injury, given time, provided it didn't kill him outright. It would take him about a month to regrow a limb. By the time he was sixteen feet tall, he could shrug off a spear through his heart.<ref name="5.9" /> His eyes had partly grown back by the time he was tried, taking over a week to heal.<ref name="I6" /> His flesh would decompose without a connection to his brain.<ref>(The eyes would decompose without a connection point to Lung’s brain.) - [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/plague-12-1/#comment-2731 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Plague 12.1]]</ref><ref name="r1">Brutes (esp. regenerators) and changers often relocate their cores/coronas to the hardest to access part of their body, or adapt to do without. - [https://redd.it/6d99gw Reddit comment] by Wildbow</ref> When fighting [[Leviathan]], he rapidly recovered from a blow from the [[Endbringer]] that shattered bones and organs, even though he wasn't yet strong enough to hurt the Endbringer. By the time he was half the size of the monster - that is, fifteen feet tall - he was able to trade blows with it, not hitting as hard as Leviathan but recovering faster than the endbringer did.<ref name="I22.y" /> Lung's healing made him resistant, but not totally immune, to toxins.<ref name="1.4" /><ref name="5.9" /> This makes medical care, including dosage, difficult as medicine needs to be calibrated to account for his healing abilities. <ref name="9.11IIe1">“It’s a power nullifying chemical,” the same woman said. She stepped forward. Words were tattooed beneath her eyes, so they traced straight lines down to her jaw. ‘Crock’ and ‘Shit’. Colorful, for words in black ink. More ink put scales at her arms and neck. “Nullifying your influence, Goddess.”<br />[...]<br />Goddess turned her attention to Lung. “Did you take the drug?”<br /><br />He shook his head.<br /><br />“Truth,” Crock o Shit said.<br /><br />“He regenerates,” I said. “Drugs have reduced effect.”<br /><br />Lung nodded. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/09/29 Excerpt] from [[Gleaming 9.11]]</ref> His system can still be "overloaded" if he overdosed with drugs, overwhelming his healing abilities by forcing them to focus entirely on fighting off the poison. This allowed [[Skitter]]'s poisons to do more damage than they usually would while he was fighting off tinker tranquilizers administered by [[Armsmaster]].<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/26/interlude-12%C2%BD/#comment-3253 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Interlude 12.5]]</ref>
