parasite

Stage 0: The parasite suppresses the immune system so that it does not notice the parasite; this stage begins 5 minutes after penetration.
Stage 1: mild fatigue and nausea and a slight feeling that you are not alone. At this stage, the parasite reproduces in you using your body's resources. This stage begins an hour after penetration.
Stage 2: The parasite begins to gradually change a person's thoughts, making them simpler and replacing terms with easier words. This stage begins 3 hours after penetration.
Stage 3: temporarily disables 60% of the target's neurons for this stage and puts them into an artificial sleep, begins at night after penetration.
Stage 4: the parasite places three commands in the target's thoughts, namely: "everything is fine", "pretend that everything is fine", "don't think about the strange things happening to yourself", this stage occurs 3 hours after the third stage.
Stage 5: It completely covers the target's brain with its offspring and turns on up to 70% of the target's neurons, and absorbs 30% and forces them to perform the functions they performed before, but which pass through filters and, if anything, are corrected. This stage occurs immediately after stage 4.
Stage 6: leaves 50% of the cognitive functions to the host so that he does things and goes to work as before, and the remaining 50% is completely subjugated and they perform the functions as before, but I am often confused about what he doesn’t want the host to think, and also the parasite gets to the memories and erases the moment of the meeting of the target and the parasite, and thoughts are subject to an average check and, if anything, are removed. The stage begins 10 hours after stage 5.

The parasite has weaknesses.

1. threats to kill the host or to harm him, which causes the parasite to panic.
2. Fire can leave the carrier's body if he is threatened with fire.
3. loneliness.

The mutation occurs immediately after stage 6, and the parasite decides what to do with the host.

1. Special - This mutation occurs when the parasite considers the host ideal for abuse. It restores 100% of the host's cognitive functions and does not control them; simply by interacting with them, it often chooses interesting hosts for this mutation.
   .
2. Hunter - this mutation affects the physical characteristics of the palms and feet, which turn black due to the large number of parasite offspring, and the nails become claws. The carrier's cognitive functions drop to 70%, and another 10% are instincts. It can be combined with the Special mutation, but in this case, it will be 70% cognitive functions and 10% instincts.

Deceivers: The parasite forces the host to pretend super well that everything is fine and slowly get closer to people and then infect them.

With the help of its owners, it grows and produces offspring; as soon as the offspring grows up, they crawl out of the owner's skin.
