Kileptre

Kileptre, or Kilaptra worms,The Fiends of Nightmaria, Section 7 were a kind of parasite that resembled small, happy faces. Their larvae were wriggling curlicues. They embedded themselves in every part of the body, including the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, gall bladder, stomach wall, colon, and brain. Years of infestation resulted in organ failure and the host's death. Transmission often occurred through the consumption of infected organ meat.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 19 p.79-80
They were said to have been created by a sorceror as a curse against an enemy, but the infestation had spread beyond its initial target. 
==In Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords==
The manuromancer, Burok, discovered the telltale curlicues of kileptre larvae swimming in the feces sample of Nog the Furbious. Nog was so upset by Burok's callous disregard that he fired the manuromancer on the spot.
