Combining newtvember and Goretober I suppose (yes, I know it’s not October anymore but whatever, you make time when you can). This time for “parasite” in that Goretober list.
Let me make you aware of a little thing called the tongue-eating louse. Which does exactly what it’s name says. Granted, it does it to FISH and not people, but it kind of looks like the kaiju skin parasite doesn’t it? There are a lot of creepy crawlies in the world, but for some reason, this louse skeeves me out to no end. So naturally I have to mess up Newt’s wonderful face with it. I mean, can you IMAGINE waking up and finding something has replace your TONGUE? Yeah, I don’t want to either.
The reason they look similar is that they're both isopods! Related to deep sea isopods & wood lice (though neither are actually lice, lol.)
Amazing artwork! Honestly Newt should appreciate having such a low-maintenance pet.
