Parasyte

**Name**: Parasyte

**Species**: **Parasites**

**Homeworld**: Unknown

**Appearance**: Parasyte's larval form resembles a green, almost translucent worm or snake with red eyes protruding out of his head, and a drill-like appendage on the front of his head. Parasyte is usually shaped like a right hand in order to blend in his host's body. However, he can change his forms depending on the situation. He can shapeshift into weapons, such as bladed tentacles, or create human-like eyes and a mouth to communicate. The Omnitrix on his back.

**Powers and Abilities**:

**Parasite Physiology**: The larval parasite has only the power to float in the wind while still in its egg. Once hatched, his head can be used to drill into a human body, leaving no marks or blood behind. Parasyte has the ability to morph into many different sizes and shapes and can become elastic or harden into a substance stronger than steel. Even seemingly untransformed Parasyte parts are incredibly strong, capable of crushing bones or breaking metal. He can transform his faces and other physical characteristics like hair or even mimic artificial objects. Parasyte that did not consume a brain can still mimic a human face quite closely if necessary, though he would be unable to actually control his host body. His ability to morph is most often used to blend in with human society (though his empty gaze and lack of empathy can distinguish them from certain humans) or fight and kill humans or other parasites. Because of his morphing powers, Parasyte's flesh can survive being stabbed, slashed, crushed, or otherwise detached so long as he has a source of blood or return quickly enough to the main mass. Parasyte-occupied bodies possess physical capabilities that are exponentially greater than normal humans' because he can use the human body's full potential and are not intimidated by pain, though this can also backfire by damaging the body if he uses more strength than it can withstand. He can identify other parasites through the wavelengths emitted by their brains. Weakened or sleeping parasites emit weaker signals. Consequently, he is able to sense the mood and activity of others of his species, even using this sense as a crude communication channel. Although this signal is somewhat imprecise, he is also capable of identifying other parasites or parasite-bearers in crowds simply by meeting each other's gaze. Most importantly, he can sense each other's killing intent. He has been shown to control other parasites, most notably Parasyte who controlled a body containing four others of his kind (up to five with Mang). This ability is shown to require great focus as Parasyte could only control three, including himself. It is currently unknown whether there is a mental or physical limit as to the maximum amount of parasites able to be contained and controlled within a host. He also possess enhanced reflexes and perception, as shown throughout the series. As Happy tries to stab Parasyte when the latter was just matured, he quickly reacted by blocking the knife and broke the blade. Before being enhanced, Jack was unable to track Parasyte attacks due to his sheer speed. Parasyte can also use multiple different attack patterns simultaneously to increase his lethality, as seen when Parasyte intimidated Alma. Despite instinctively wanting to eat the species of his hosts, Parasyte can live off a non-cannibalistic diet and only need food that will sustain his host bodies. Parasyte may also consume or be sustained by blood, and maybe capable of revitalizing himself by eating human prey if his own host body has lost a lot of blood. He can also detect the condition of his host bodies, such as when Parasyte stated appreciation for a healthy meal that Delsin had eaten and he detected poison in their shared body.

**Weakness**:

The biggest weakness Parasyte possess is his dependence on the organs and digestive system of his host's body: once cut off or separated, in a matter of minutes a Parasyte will begin to weaken, shrivel and eventually die. If his host body is fatally exsanguinated or rejects him after a transfer, he will begin to shrivel away even while still attached and will require to transfer to another host in order to survive.

Another weakness is his intolerance to fire. Parasyte stated that fire causes his surface cells to react in a way similar to "freaking out". This weakness was exploited during Huang's fight with Parasyte, causing him to become distracted and unbalanced.

Parasyte is also affected by toxins, diseases, and infections. Alcohol has shown to be a danger to him, causing his morphing abilities to be harder to control if ingested, while more caustic chemicals like paint thinner can damage his cells and cause him to lose his morphing capabilities in the affected area as well as divide his body into smaller, uncontrollable masses.

He become less capable as his cells are split apart or damaged, with smaller pieces quickly losing the capability to think and only following his last "command" or struggling to reconnect with the main mass. If Parasyte detaches enough of himself he will eventually lose control of his host body. He seem slow to regenerate, as Parasyte did not recover from his handicap after using part of his body to heal Delsin and appear incapable of producing more of his species.

His host's body is also an inhibition with combat, as the body is easily damaged and can also be destroyed by the occupying parasite if it tries to fight using it, most notably when Jack easily broke his wrist when attacking a group of Soldiers.
