Black Weaver Parasite

Unusual Nature. The Black Weaver Parasite doesn’t require air or sleep.

Sunlight Hypersensitivity. The Black Weaver Parasite takes 20 radiant damage when it starts its turn in sunlight. While in sunlight, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

False Appearance. While the Black Weaver Parasite remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a hair animal or mundane object.

Aversion of Fire. If the Black Weaver Parasite takes fire damage, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the end of its next turn.

Horrific Corpse Multiplication. When the host of the creature controlled by the Black Weaver Parasite dies, the Black Weaver Parasite has the ability to produce offspring by 1d6. At that point, the parasite will have two options: it can either burst out of the corpse and continue its life cycle, or it can remain within the corpse. This means that even after the host has died, the Black Weaver Parasite can continue to reproduce and potentially infect other organisms.

Crack Infiltration. The Black Weaver Parasite's ability to enter and hide in small spaces that are only half its size.

Latching. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (2d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage, and the Black Weaver Parasite attaches to the target. While attached, the parasite can’t make Latching attacks, but can use Hijack. The Black Weaver Parasite can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. As an action, a creature within reach of the Black Weaver Parasite can try to detach it, doing so with a successful DC 15 Strength check with disadvantage.

Hijack. The Black Weaver Parasite digs it hair-like tentacles into the host skin, and proceed to try and take over the body function. In order to resist the hijack of a Black Weaver Parasite, a creature must succeed in a Constitution saving throw with a roll of 5 or above. (In order for a Black Weaver Parasite to hijack a creature, the creature must be alive.)

If a creature fails the Constitution saving throw against a Black Weaver Parasite's hijack attempt, the parasite will enter the host body and take control of its abilities and actions. However, the process is not without consequences. The host creature will suffer damage equal to half of its total health, as the parasite forcefully enters and establishes control over its nervous system. Additionally, while the parasite is in control, the host creature will have disadvantage on attack rolls due to the interference caused by the parasite's presence. It is important to note that the longer the parasite remains in control, the more damage it can potentially cause to the host creature, Hit: 8 (1d20 + 5) necrotic damage.
