| - Summary::Creatures inhabited by parasites which change their very being into something without self, without personality, perhaps without a soul. Zombies that yet still live, they seek to spread as a plague. Born of horrible magically engineered spider-like creatures, they burrow into mortal flesh and take control of its nervous system, filling the body with a host of terrible chemicals while spawning. Those afflicted turn pale, with veins clearly visible and eyes yellowed with sickness. Their hair often falls out and they lumber with a unsteady gait, chanting in unison with each other. The physical changes, accompanied by the unbending grasp of the hivemind they share, makes them all look the same with their individual personalities lost.

Zombies that yet still live, they seek to spread as a plague. Born of horrible magically engineered spider-like creatures, they burrow into mortal flesh and take control of its nervous system, filling the body with a host of terrible chemicals while spawning. Those afflicted turn pale, with veins clearly visible and eyes yellowed with sickness. Their hair often falls out and they lumber with a unsteady gait, chanting in unison with each other. The physical changes, accompanied by the unbending grasp of the hivemind they share, makes them all look the same with their individual personalities lost. Assimilated, while intelligent, have no free will. If left alone, most will wander aimlessly with no purpose until given one by the will of the hivemind as a whole, or by the mysterious Overminds. In combat they attempt to employ the talents of the host body, but have no qualms sacrificing themselves for other assimilated. For what is death to them, for they are all the same, they are all one mind.
