Description

When the host takes enough damage it escapes as quickly as possible and prepares to take over the bigger and hopefully larger prey. It gets inside by attaching itself onto the prey soft parts (parts where your abdomen doesn't cover) and injects numbing and paralyzing enzymes into it's host as it cuts and burrows itself into it's digestive system using it's webbing to seal up the hole. When it first burrows it isn't as large. And the larger the creature it burrows into the larger it grows. The spiderlings that it releases want to burrow into a creature and start its life cycle over.
