Description
After being inplanted by an Amaranthine-Deceptor ,the larvae will slowly start to consume their just barely living host from the inside and multiply rapidly. Once the head is invaded after 24 hours the host becomes a food source for the larvae for as long as it lives and, occasionally, adult Amaranthine-Deceptors will enter through the host's mouth to feed the larvae and prolong their survival so more larvae can grow in the host.
The Larvea will use the Host to lure unsuspecting adventurers into a Field of Flowers, where the Adult Amaranthine-Deceptors are lurking and waiting to swarm the prey to produce more larvae. It has proven effective to let the Host, still capable of speaking a few simple words, whisper for help. Hoping any humanoid will fall for the awaiting ambush.
It's been said to be possible to rescue such a poor soul, who was infested with larvaes with certain spells. But the costs are greatly, since the larvae have already feasted on the brain and other tissue on the inside. Even without the larvaes, the Host is only a shadow of it's former self until it's grievly wounded body is regenerated
