The Jelly Bean Parasite

The Jelly Bean Parasite

The Jelly Bean Parasite is an asexual tiny amoeba type life form. It absorbs other tiny lifeforms such as insects. When this creature is ready to reproduce it slowly hardens into a bright sweet smelling and sweet tasting treat to entice other creatures to eat it. Once eaten 1000s of crystallized eggs-spores Of it’s self are activated and begin growing in the intestines of the host, until they burst the intestines. The Jelly Bean parasites than absorb burrow their way out of the body of the dead creature. They will then actively hunt small creatures until it is time for they mature into their reproduction cycle again.

If not treated these tasty little Jelly Bean Parasites will kill.

I have not made stats but suggest a slow progression of symptoms, first start messing with PC abilities and ability to recover. These would be the first symptoms of the creature. Finally if the PC can’t figure out they are sick... after a few months start things like stomach pains, blood in feces to give them a heads up.... if the still won’t do to the healers... well death is automatic and describe the horrors to their friends.

Happy Beaster Day!
