Ootooloo

An ootooloo was described as a primitive but singular sea-creature which lived in hot springs in the Bluerose Mountains.Midnight Tides, GlossaryMidnight Tides, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.211-212 It was a form of parasite kept secret among women. After implantation, its cilia would eventually permeate the entire body.
==In Midnight Tides==
The parasite was "installed" by Selush in Shurq Elalle as part of a deal made between Shurq and Tehol. The ootooloo "enlivened" otherwise dead "spaces" reawakening the thief to sexual pleasure and granting her brighter and more vigourous skin. To keep the creature's tendrils from invading her brain, a poison developed from a small creature that shared the ootooloo's hot springs was infused into Shurq's brain. As a side effect, Shurq had to constantly engage in sexual activity to keep the voracious ootooloo fed.
