Broodpiercer
A parasitic-affliction adjustment turns a creature into an unwilling incubator, sheltering a dormant larva inside its skull.
The insects known as broodpiercers are particularly insidious parasites that target the eggs of birds, beasts, and dragons alike, piercing the shell with a needle-like proboscises and implanting their eggs into healthy embryos. The afflicted creature's cranium then develops around the larval broodpiercer, which lies dormant while subsisting off minimal resources from its host.
