HAMAZAKI

RP-03, commonly referred to as HAMAZAKI, is the primary antagonist of the partially-unannounced project known as FFXIV: SS. This character/entity exists solely in the Earth X-IV universe.
== Profile ==
HAMAZAKI is the strongest of the RED PEPPER class brain parasites. Unlike its sole documented sibling, the original Squirrel Stapler (RP-01), this parasite lies dormant in the host's body for the entire duration of the host's life. The parasite is activated when the host dies, immediately seizing control of the host's body and drastically contorting it both physically and temporally.
The HAMAZAKI parasite is currently in control of Squirrel Stapler's corpse following their defeat at the hands of Rolly Mizuki. It is believed that Squirrel Stapler remains sentient and "alive" inside of her own brain, but is unable to wrestle control of her body away from the parasite. It was last seen breaking into the home of Evil Shadow Skull, who was subsequently brutalized and killed.
Though the full extent of HAMAZAKI's abilities have yet to be unveiled, it is known that the creature possesses certain anomalous and/or supernatural abilities. Its body is not fully defined in the world's Aether flow, allowing it to shift into whatever shape it pleases.
