|summary=Addleworms are a commonly feared parasite that takes control of a host and leads said host to their respective queen. They invade a host via the ears and manipulate them into seeking out their hive. | |||
|physiology=A small, dark green slug with a flanged mantle. | |||
|summary= | |reproduction=The addleworm reproduces by filling a host creature with self-fertilized eggs. It may deposit these in the victim's stomach, womb, bowels, or testicles. | ||
|physiology= | |||
|reproduction= | Once the eggs hatch, the larvae will burst from the swollen and still-enraptured host. They then seek out a new host and invade via ear canals in order to manipulate the new host to the queen to hold the next clutch. | ||
|behavior= | |behavior=Addleworms are most commonly found outside the city and thus infect travelers and adventurers who are not sufficiently prepared. | ||
|diet= | |diet=The addleworm eats detritus, and often the remains of any spent hosts. | ||
|use= | |use=The queen addleworm is largely a source of fear for citizens, but some mages will use the hunters as a form of mass mind control. The mage will enchant the worms with a belief of their choosing, and then release them into the streets to alter the minds of unsuspecting citizens. Businesses may use the addleworm similarly in an attempt to influence and gain customers, and in this context they are referred to as “adworms”. | ||
