Alien Species

An unnamed species of insectoid neural parasite was discovered in the year 2380.

Biology[]

These parasites are small insectoids with glowing eyes. They cling to the head of a humanoid host and release pheromones that make the host irresistible for the opposite sex. Like Earth insects, they shed their exoskeleton as they grow.
