The most scary thing about prions is that they're inert. They're not even evil or agressive. They just are.

The mere shape of them causes cascading exponential system failures. And that shape happens to be very stable and requires a lot of energy to be broken up.

Like some kind of rock that falls from the sky or materializes out of thin air, and slowly the whole village turns into identical inanimate rocks.
