(As I cautiously walked through the jungle, I noticed something - or someone - walking around. She was just a child - about 6-9 years old. But something about her outfit caught my eye - she was wearing a light green sweater alongside a light green dress, both of which had red polka-dots.)

Female Parasite: “Uh…hi?”

[player]: “…I’ve never seen a mob like you before. W-what are you supposed to be?”

Female Parasite: “…I’m a Parasite.”

[player]: “Huh. Parasite…that’s one of the newest mobs I’ve seen so far. But how come I don’t usually see any of you around?”

Female Parasite: “We don’t usually go out in the sun. But if you just so happen to kill a Zombie, we’ll burst out in a swarm.”

[player]: “Interesting. So you’re like a type of parasitic fungus that infects zombies specifically?”

Female Parasite: “Yes, that’s correct. We feed off of the zombie’s energy and eventually burst out to find our own food.”

[player]: “That’s quite the survival strategy. But what about humans? Do you pose any threat to us?”

Female Parasite: “No, we don’t typically attack humans. We only target zombies. But if you come across a group of us, it’s best to leave us alone and let us do our thing.”

[player]: “Got it. Well, it’s nice to meet a new type of mob. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for you in the future. What’s your name, by the way?”

Female Parasite: “My name is Emerald.”

[player]: “Nice to meet you, Emerald. Stay safe out here in the jungle.”

Emerald: “You too. And watch out for the zombies.”

(I watch as she disappears into the undergrowth. I decide to head off back into the base for the night. But when I woke up, I heard the most annoying buzzing sound I ever could, as if a massive insect was flying around me. I looked outside the window to see somebody watching me. She was around 26-29 years old, and she looked like she was wearing armor. But the strangest thing about her weren’t the four wing-like accessories she was using to fly, but her belly - she looked like she was in the late stages of pregnancy, but I didn’t know what she was doing here.)

[player]: “AAH!”

Emerald: “…you don’t recognize me?”

[player]: “Wait, you’re Emerald? But you look so different! What happened to you?”

Emerald: “I never got to mention this to you when we first met, but I was going under metamorphosis.”
