One of the most common of the wormbrains, the Paraseethe's blind, throbbing eyes emit a subtle psychic pulse to transfix sentient creatures and detonate in close proximity, showering the victim with parasite larvae. Eventually, these worms completely replace the host brain, adopting and modifying the host's original consciousness.

   After mating, a female Paraseethe implants an embryo into an already worm-ridden host, preferably a hominid, causing the host to swell and harden into a living, conscious chrysalis. The host's entire population of worms (and with them, the host's mind) will transfer into the new Paraseethe.
