Species 5874.92 B


















The origin of species 5874.92 B is currently unknown, although it is theorized that they arrived from beyond the edge of the galaxy via a hibernation vessel or possibly some heretofore unexplained natural phenomenon. What is known is that they have the capacity to attach themselves to humanoids and certain other species, effectively turning those species into a "host" while slowly consuming their brain matter and other tissue. Once their host dies and begins to decompose, becoming useless to the "parasite", they detach themselves and look for another host. It has also been theorized that species 5874.92 B may use hosts as a receptacle for reproduction, although this has not been proven. Since initial contact, the number of parasites inhabiting the galaxy has grown exponentially.
