Nightmare

Parasite

Parasitic organisms that take over the host and use them as part of a hive collective objective to consume all life.

The parasite is a dark grey color.

Small tentacle appendages around what seems to be the parasite's mouth.

10 micrometers for basic parasite
15 micrometers for a queen

Depends on the creature it infects. The parasite turns the hosts body into a living weapon, turning limbs into bones spikes, growing extra body parts, absorbing more than one creature to one parasite host, etc. It's overall very gruesome. The parasite itself is a minuscule semi-flat worm with spider-like legs.
