CLASS: ARTHROPOID

   Fusion between human and tick. This large, sluggish parasite drains blood and body fluids through its serrated tongue, which can extend up to three times the length of the body and secretes a paralytic venom along with a strong natural adhesive. Once attached, the bloat will not stop feeding until the host is completely drained, and any injury to the bloat will only speed the death of its prey. It smells through the palms of its hands, and waves them in the air when hunting.
