==Background==
Troids are a race of immaterial parasitic beings created by Elder God Chthon. They are present in most humans, feeding on the fear and humiliation that is felt by their hosts. The hosts aren't physically effected by the parasite, which grow to maturity within. If an injury occurs to the host's skin, the parasite escapes. Outside of the host, its a 3 ft. long 10-legged winged insectoid that can talk. It can only be detected by those with mystical abilities, but if detected, normal physical means can injure the creature.
