They latch onto him, crawl up his body and proceed to be dominated by his will.

So either you're wrong, or everyone is wrong due to the writers not affixing Urboros as any one kind of thing.

The whole thing never made any sense to begin with.
Uroboros is indeed a virus, as is stated many times in the game. Maybe Capcom doesn't realize the exact nature of a virus in real life, but despite clumping itself together in a big living writhing mass, it's still a virus. I believe you can just consider it a huge colony of many very tiny creatures that formed into one oozing mass by 'eating' the flesh of those it's injected into. Rather than a single multi-celled organism, the Uroboros 'monsters' are colonies of the virus sustained by dead flesh.
