Zecui
This chitinous parasite grows to adulthood only inside a host, and can trap a dying victim in suspended unconsciousness instead of death.
These chitinous entities can only grow to adulthood within a host creature, usually a humanoid or larger animal. When such hosts are particularly plentiful, zecuis can multiply at a horrifying rate, sealing hosts in subterranean chambers until their larvae grow to adulthood.
