Angsty Prince's Disease

Typical of young adult princes when tragedy strikes their houses.

Symptoms include: Pregnant replies, mystic allusions, mistaken identities, arguing his father is his mother, intimations of suicide, forgoing of exercise, loss of mirth, hints of claustrophobia not to say delusions of imprisonment; invocations of camels, chameleons, capons, whales, weasels, hawks, handsaws, riddles, quibbles and evasions; amnesia, paranoia, myopia, day-dreaming, hallucinations, stabbing his elders, abusing his parents, insulting his lover, and appearing hatless in public.

One of the most deadly diseases out there as it kills not only the victim, but the victim's enemies, allies, lovers, friends, and a few insignificant people nobody would notice except for their deaths. Death does not come swiftly either, no matter how gravely the injuries manifest themselves, people dying related to this disease always have time to make dramtic and long winded death speeches, which in turn adds to the suffering of the living as they must listen to that crap.

Notable for single-handedly wiping out the entire Hamlet of Danish.
