Fear Roach

Roughly the size of a full grown rat, the Fearroach latches onto the scalp of its victim while it sleeps and bites into its neck. Once bitten the victim is injected with a cocktail of poison that induces vivid nightmares and paralysis. The roach feeds off of the blood of the victim and takes particular nourishment out of the stress hormones being released into the bloodstream. Once satiated a female Fearroach will lay its eggs inside the wound and stitch the wound closed with a resin created from its own feces. The victim will wander in poison induced daze when the paralysis has faded. When fully gestated the eggs will flood the host with hormones that drive them to seek out sexual partners and during the act the larvae will infest the partner, paralyze and consume them from the inside until they have grown and molt into their adult forms. The poison gradually kills the host whether or not the larva are passed onto a new host. If a new host is not found the larva will consume the original host and each other until they molt.
