Unusual Nature. The parasite doesn’t require air or sleep.
Cling. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 12 (3d6 + 2) necrotic damage, and the parasite attaches to the target. While attached, the parasite can’t make Cling attacks. The parasite can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. As an action, a creature within reach of the parasite can try to detach it, doing so with a successful DC 14 Strength check.
Consume Life. The parasite deals 12 (3d6 + 2) necrotic damage to one creature it is physically attached to, provided that creature isn’t a Construct or an Undead. The parasite regains hit points equal to the damage taken.
Suggestion (Psionics; 1/Day). The parasite casts the suggestion spell, requiring no spell components and using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 13).
Description
A puppeteer parasite looks like a rubbery amoeba the size of a dinner plate. Its dorsal surface is soft and glossy, while its ventral surface is lined with bony hooks. The parasite uses its hooks to attach to a wall or ceiling until suitable prey passes nearby.
A parasite that comes in physical contact with a Humanoid uses its hooks to latch onto it. The parasite can then drain life energy from that creature or use it as transportation. The parasite can also impose its will on a nearby creature, forcing the creature to comply with its wishes. Puppeteer parasites like to use Humanoid thralls as bodyguards and transports.

Posted May 11, 2023We just had a random encounter where a small swarm of three descend on our space galleon. The players lv 4 could easily beat the saves so I decided to have them attach to the crew and make them attack the players instead. Two crewmen died in the first round and the parasites turned their attention to the players but they were clever. We have two druids in the party so the moon druid used summon beast and had her flying chicken grapple one and fly it up high since its movement was half the summoned beast's. She then became a giant octopus and grappled another. The fighter grappled the third and our stars druid dropped a moonbeam and used the archer form to just obliterate them. It wasn't a super difficult for them but the players had a blast.
