Red Larva
Creature name: Red Larva
Type: Parasitic
Description: The creature's name Red Larva are know as such due to their very dark red tone due to the way they are given birth. They measure roughly 60 cm length and 20 cm wide for an adult and the size of a sand grain when young. It has in total 8 eyes on his forehead and a wasp type mandibular for a mouth. They have hair tendril moving with them allowing them to hang or communicate through the ground. They seem to have a special type of sexual trance once in their life which allow them to reproduce. This trance is similar to the way mushroom communicate by very thin fiber link to one another underground.
Attitude: This creature is very dangerous for anyone to be in contact with. If bitten a surgery must be practice in the next 20 minute to try and remove the egg lodge inside. Rare are successful surgery and rare are the one who have the money, and a surgeons under their hand. Which will lead to the next phase where as the egg hatch they will move to the intestine and slowly consume their content and the intestine itself. To make sure the host doesn't realize what is happening the embryo will start to release a type of pain killer removing sensation from the body. People will usually become stronger and more resistant to pain as they don't feel it. As it consume it will repair some of the intestine as a safe way to keep the host alive. This will last for 3 days then the parasite will move up toward the brain. This will last for a day were the host will become more and more degenerate until all of his mind is gone. To leave his host the parasite will force itself out by crushing the lower jaw into the upper one until it is out. Most of the time one egg will be in the host but some have being noted to lay 2 egg. Their behavior then change, were they will split the body where one will live in the stomach and the other in the intestine.
Weakness: They are mostly moist loving creature, area such as tropical forest, cave, lake and swamp are the most likely place to find them. Area that are dry will most of the time be impossible for them to survive, though some have being found in basement in some desert, they were special case where the host was not aware that one of his beast was a host. Fire seam a good way to removed them from an area, though the young larva are very resistant to heat and dry temperature and will mostly die once the host has died.
