Pycnogonida (PHAGE VIRUS)

The pycnogonida parasite is a lithium-based aquatic crustacean. The phage virus is the youngest and smallest generation of a Pycnogonida’s offspring. The phage virus parasite is tophaphagous, aggressive, intelligent, and parasitic, highly invasive. pycnogonids survive by hunting warm-blooded creatures. A pycnogonid will consume prey that is smaller than itself using powerful jaws to break flesh and drain internal fluids. pycnogonids enter prey larger than itself via available body cavities such as the mouth, nostril, genitalia, anus, eyes, and ears, or penetration of the epidermal layer. Once inside a targeted prey, a pycnogonid attaches itself to internal organs and survives as a parasite. Once pycnogonids parasites enter a targeted host, the species reproduces rapidly at an exponential rate through gonopores on each of the species' eight legs. Phage viruses that spawn from the pycnogonid parasites reproduce at a rate that most host species cannot fight off via a natural immune system response.
