Dycepskians can infest almost any living or undead creature with a brain and a central nervous system. The creature retains its type and subtype, as well as any abilities it has from its species or class graft.
Dycepskians have come to fear tiny plant-eating aberrations known as zernivians. Zernivians inhabit the bodies of harmless animals in order to get close to intelligent plant-based creatures, which they then harvest with a natural herbicide delivered through acidic spittle. Although unethical pet dealers sometimes offer zernivians for sale, zernivians actually move constantly from one host animal to another and seldom bond with another species. However, sometimes a zernivian’s ability to inhabit a host goes awry, and the creature is permanently trapped inside that host. When this happens, the physiologies of the zernivian and its host combine and mutate. Perhaps realizing it can no longer find prey without help, the zernivian becomes more amenable to other species. A caring and patient individual can sometimes forge a bond with such a creature.
