Bendelex
A grotesque parasite, the Bendelex looks like a slug wrought of carbonated, bubbling blood. Bendelexes reproduce when consumed by mammalian hosts. They absorb nutrients from their host for a number of days, and when ready, they burrow out of the host’s stomach. Bulbous and saturated with nutrients from their host, the Bendelex then splits into two new worms, which seek to continue the cycle.
