Spike-worms

Spike-worms were the larval form of a big yellow and black parasitic beetle that lived in the Falari Isles. As part of their life cycle, the worms crawled into a host's ear, ate the ear drum, and formed a cocoon out of wax. Once they metamorphosized into their beetle forms, they lived in the host's sinuses.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 11, US HC p.184-185
