WISPOWURWEE: HOST IMPACT A Wispowurwee may jump from object to object until it finds a suitable host. Once it has taken over a host, the Wispowurwee often ignores bodily functions that it considers unimportant to its immediate needs. As a result, the host creature begins an almost immediate period of atrophy and decay. Once a host dies, or physically decays beyond the point of usefulness, the parasite sets about looking for a new host, a process that usually lasts only a few ticks.
