Arachnids:
The Alexei spider. Named after the first person recorded to be infected, this spider lives mainly in trees, uncaring of whether the trees lie within areas with humans or more forest-like areas. Alexeis are small, being only four centimetres in length, with a leg-span of three centimetres, and an average of two centimetres high. While Alexeis spiders are not venomous, all male Alexeis carry a parasite. The parasite is only transferred via the bite of an Alexeis. They do not bite often, and only when provoked, however, once the parasite enters the body of a living organism, it settles in the chest of the victim, slowly spreading to other parts of the victim's body over a duration of one to two weeks. Once it is mature, the parasite will burst out of the host's chest and back, sprouting six legs from the host's back, while the chest becomes a bloodied hole, as the parasite spreads its eggs via the burst. The host is not paralysed; it is still possible for them to speak and move, as well as the host being able to feel pain, such as when the parasite bursts out. The parasite alters brain function, making the host become merciless towards its prey—anything that has flesh—and able to digest raw meat with no unwanted side effects. The parasites also allow the males to asexually reproduce if they cannot find a mate.
