Body-Snatchers

NameTypeSize
Entry These terrifying creatures originated from interstellar space, specifically within the core of a meteor that struck and formed Ponkapoag Lake. They had taken primary residence within the second strata of the Ponkapoag Lake crater in the form of a curious type of seaweed with large pods and air-bladders. One curious scientist, Dr. Asa, put an ad out in the local paper and, gathering a few interested parties, made his way to Ponkapoag Lake to find the bottom.

From the depths of the ocean fled these creatures, so reminiscent of an ordinary jelly-fish. But with a few key differences. The stingers are hollow and secret a combination of a paralytic and a hypnagogic agent, the combination of which places the user into a state where they drift between conscious and unconscious.

Tendrils that can perfectly interface with the central and peripheral nervous systems extend from any number of these stingers, and so with a single sting are capable of not only taking over the host system body, but capable of accessing the memories and skills of the host, making it able to integrate socially with frightening speed. The body-snatcher will ride its host physically, often times settling itself across the band of the host's back, just beneath where the neck meets the torso.

The creature can also use its host's reproductive organs for its own reproduction cycle. When reproducing, the host secretes clusters of gooey, writhing pustules that often infect the nearest biological system (using the human reproduction system and delivery of spermatazoon onto ovum, the results are devastating).
