The Morkel (species)
The Morkel are a species of rapidly spreading, expansionist weeds. They are known for their adaptability, their empathic abilities, and their will to dominate and form symbiotic relationships with all forms of life as well to merge with inanimate objects. Morkels can be incredibly dangerous if they grow onto a powerful enough host, but they are commonly found still attached to the prehistoric hosts of their home galaxy. Any creature with the capacity to feel extreme isolation, anguish, desperation, or terror is susceptible to the Morkel, whose thorns induce mind-numbing effects that render a state of soothing catatonia in victims. Once a Morkel seizes a victim, it forces the new host to feel waves of heightened emotion, and unless the host can overcome the emotions, they remain wholly submissive to the Morkel’s control.
