A victim of a Larva Mage’s worms will decay until its head detaches from its body. This is when a Brain Horror is born. The skin and bones wither away, leaving only a bulbous floating brain as the spinal nerves clump together to form dozens of rubbery tentacles that sends a paralysing electrical shock on touch. They usually try to paralyse their victim to then attach to their head and feed on their mind, stealing its thoughts and knowledge in the process, leaving behind a drooling husk of a body. While attached, any pain they endure is also felt by the victim. Since they don’t make any sounds and hover above the ground, they often take their victim by surprise. Instinct: Feeds on thoughts and memories

Larva Mages are spawns and servitors of Elder Gods. They are formed of thousands of small purple worm-like creatures that share a common mind. Most weapons and spells can't harm them unless they affect all of them at once. The worms that get separated from their collective conscious body usually burrow into the skin of their victim and slowly eat it from the inside. After some time, the head detaches from the body to become a Brain Horror while the rest of the body transforms into a giant Borrow Worm. Larva Mage manifest realities that are outside of mortals’ comprehension, which mortals name “Star Magic” for lack of better term. They can open tiny momentary black holes, change gravity, alter space-time, and other such weird effects. Instinct: To summon forth an Elder God.
