The Neural Parasite is a small creature similar in appearance to a manta ray. It was first seen in The Kur Stone: Part One.

Biography[]

It feeds on the nervous system, converting impulses into radiant energy waves. These waves can be "tuned into" if the frequency is known, allowing everything that is seen and heard by the parasite's host to be received.

Although the parasite transmits frequencies, the host maintains the use of their own body while the parasite taps into the spinal cord and feeds. V.V. Argost found a way to control the hosts by tapping into the parasite's frequency waves.

These cryptids are used frequently by Argost. Sometimes they are used for him to gain information, as in the case of Dr. Cheveyo and Fiskerton during The Kur Stone: Part One and Shadows of Lemuria, respectively, while other times it's a means of control, such as with Piecemeal during Target: Fiskerton. Argost gifts Zak a Neural Parasite for his thirteenth birthday, which Zak then later uses on Fisk in order to speak with Argost.

Trivia[]

  • Strangely enough, we know parasites today that are able to control the functions of its victims. These parasites are only single-celled organisms that need a host, unlike the show's neural parasite.
