Path of the Symbiont

The symboints are strange, mimic-like entities. Many scholars believe they came from the Far Realm to Insectopia, but why they do not know. Alone they are merely specks, barely noticeable for most creatures. However, when they find a worthy host, the symbionts unleash their true and they find potential. Barbadians of thePath of the Symbiont draw their power from a connection with exactly those alien creatures. When entering a rage, the Symbiont takes over and turns the barbarian into a violent bloodthirsty monster, wielding the symbiont as a tangible weapon with deadly precision.
