A parasitic organism haunting the Varen since daw of time.

This creature was kept on a science ship during the great exil then implented itself in the biome of Seliosass, along others, when said ship crashlanded in a forest after the Great Impact.

The The biodiversity explosion resulting this crash impacted the forests so much that the bigger ones reformed into a new kind of forest. So dense that in the central regions called "Cores", a new kind of fauna and flora birthed in it.

1. The Brain:
The brain structure of these parasites is very similar the Varen's, mainly due to millenias of crossbreeding. This brain density and structure makes them extremly smart, thought their lack of self recognition makes them be seen as a lesser life form.

2. The Testicles:
There are no females, only males that uses a complex process to multiply. The internal structure is almost the same as Varen's again. Thought quite smaller. The two kinds of Gametes(13.) generated in these are quite special.

3. Oviposition Stages:
  3a. First stage Ovipositon:
In this stage the Gametes(13.) are gathered, bundled up together. Then encased in a robust Protein Husk(12b.), along with a powerfull mix of nutriments and a chemical putting all of these in a state of stasis for safe keeping.
  3b. Second stage Oviposition:
With the help of it's Primary Ovipositor(6a.), the parasite stick its now finished Spermatophores(12a.) in every places it can put them inside the sack of the Second stage. Keeping piling them up to wait for the fatefull release.

4. Secondary Sphincter:
Along with the Primary Sphincter(7.), they make sure the Second stage Ovipositor(3b.) is shut tightly when the pressure in it rises, prior to the Oviposition into the host.

5. Tertiary Sphincter:
This third sphincter assure that the Secondary Ovipositor(6b.) is kept inside the front bulb.

6. Ovipositors
  6a. Primary Ovipositor
The role of this first Ovipositor. The extension of the First stage Ovipositor(3a.), is to place the newly formed Spermatophores(12a.) around in the Second stage Ovipositor(3b.) for the future infestation of an host.
  6b. Secondary Ovipositor retracted
Bundled up with it's two Perforators(6d.). This Ovipositor is the final stage of a successfull infestation of an host. In this retracted state it is kept nicely warm, lubricated and sanitarised.
  6c. Secondary Ovipositor deployed
Ejected by a combinaison of contraction of the bulb and decontraction of the Tertiary Sphincter(5.). This prencil organ, up to a meter long. Is now ready to be used for it's purpose. Lay the full load of Spermatophores(12a.) inside the new host's testicles.
  6d. Perforators
The twin tips of the Secondary Ovipositor(6bc.) have for purpose to part ways in the host's prostate toward the two separate testicles and as the name suggests, perforate the two organs for the Spermatophores(12a.) to be layed directly inside. It is considered the second most painfull stage of the infestation.

7. Primary Sphincter:
The role of this Sphincter along with the Secondary Sphincter(4.), is to shut tightly the Second stage Ovipositor(3b.). But also to keep safe the Primary Ovipositor(6a.) and First stage Ovipositor(3a.) As pressure builds up in said Second stage, before infestation of the host.

8. Mutagen production unit:
This organ produces huge amounts of mutagen in a very short time that build up in branches like structures.

9. Mutagen Tendrils:
Built in a matter of milliseconds. The four branches of mutagen pierce the skin and grow inside the erect host's genitals. The two "Forward" branches grow inside the shaft and glands while the two "Backward" branches grow around the crotch and scrotum. When well in place the banches start to discharge the raw mutagen insde the affected régions. This part is known as the third most painfull moment of the infestation.

10. Graber Tendrils:
Powerfull limbs used to move around and for grabing tightly around the host's erect member. The grip can be painfull is the host gets too violent toward the parasite.

11. Back Armor:
That soft fleshy armor hardens when the parasite feels threatened. The spikes are soft to the touche but can get very sharp when erected.

12. "Eggs":
  12a. Spermatophore:
Filled to the brim with hibernating Gametes(13.) they are used for safekeeping the load and get carried into the host's testicles.
  12b. Protein Husk:
This hard and robust armor holds on tight to the precious load of Gametes(13.) Inside and disolves a few hours after being layed due to the interaction with the host's fluids and Gametes.

13. Gametes:
  13a. Carrier:
This specialized Gamete has for only role that to carry and guide the Pseudo-Spermatozoides(13b.) deep in the infested testicles.
  13b. Pseudo-Spermatozoides:
This small Gamete has a small harpoon and a powerfull genetic load that changes the cells DNA identity to an hybrid between the parasite's and the host's. The effect on the host's gametes isn't the same. Mutating the gamete into the parasite's own reproductive gamete.
