Summary
The addleworm is a parasite that takes control of a host and leads said host to their queen to be used as an eggsac.
Habitat
The addleworm makes its home in deep caves.
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.
Once the eggs hatch, the larvae will burst from the swollen and still-enraptured host.
Diet
The addleworm eats detritus, and sometimes the remains of any spent hosts.
Common Uses
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.
