I suspect there's a really good reason for that.

It's story-magic, not science; and I don't think Minna has actually tried to work out anything remotely resembling a coherent quasi-scientific basis for it. I think she writes what she wants to put in the story, and then sometimes works out a partial explanation to fit, but mostly just handwaves it.
Oh, of course. I just like to think of possible reasons why things would be as they are.

My headcanon (with nothing to support it) is that when a group of infected people develop the Rash simultaneously and are kept (for some reason) at close distance of each other, there's a higher chance of a magical "resonance" or "tuning". This connection between infected persons, or animals, reduces mortality and makes their mutations "align", creating those groups that we saw.
I like this!

Do you guys think the wolf holding the umbrella could be an intentional reference to the Greatwolf Sif in Dark Souls? I'm wondering because on The Dragon Prince apparently made a similar reference in it ends credits. (check the "Book 1: Moon" section on that page)

EDIT: Realized there's a newer Pokémon who does that too, and this a series I remember Minna being a fan of.

Did Lalli just change his mind and yank his hand back?

Or did something off-panel grab Lalli?!

To me it looks like he spotted something in the distance, and hastily withdrew.

I think so too. He realizes he can’t reach it without too great a risk and goes into hiding.

Spider-cow, spider-cow, does whatever a spider-cow does... actually, featuring in SSSS is exactly the kind of thing a spider-cow would do...

So everything starts looking perfectly normal until... Let's see if that will happen in the comic too :D

For me the lamb wasn’t as bad, partially of course because I wasn’t surprised any more. But it was so over the top from the start. But the cow thing sort of creeped on me. And now my scalp itches when I think about it!
