I forgot all about this one and almost didn't upload it, since it felt like it was retreading territory I've already covered, but ah well. Think of it as a counterpart to Paraslob, together they're two very different "giant" worm-eyes.

Pff! I'm more into parasitic fungi.  Spent half a middle school year ostracized by my peers due to ringworm.  Only my bald, scabby headed calico was willing to share the pain and shame.

The true horror is here:

Although parasitic fungi live on living hosts, many are adapted to transform into saprophytic fungi should they kill their host. In this case, they will find a healthy host, invade it, and drain its nutrients until the creature dies, and then continue to feed on the dead host, aiding in the process of decay. Some fungi will then go on to find a fresh host and repeat the cycle.
