Have you lost someone in your life who was important to you? Why can't you remember what color their eyes were anymore? Why has their face become blurry over the months and years? Their smell- what was it? Tobacco? No, why can't you remember the precious details of those you loved? The maggot spirit is why. When the memories are no longer living and growing in your mind, the maggot spirit smells them. It nibbles slowly until the decaying memories are gone. But sometimes it's still hungry, and like its material cousin, sometimes it then bores into the living parts, and then there's pain and blood. Only the pain is mental anguish, the blood is leaking sanity. Only someone who can pierce the veil of the ethereal can help you then. Instinct: To nibble endlessly.

• Eat away at memories of the dead.
• When there's no decaying memories left, dig into living mind.
• Latch onto the soul.
