APTERA_NOTE

A round helmet, and inside it, a single skull. The neck is purple, like a brain. Look closer: this is not one creature. A skull, and the body that wears it — parasite or partner, I cannot decide.

Its talk is cheerful, scatterbrained; and yet it misses nothing. Take away the pain of something weakened, and it will hand itself over, body and all. Before long the inside is someone else. If that thing is ever kind to you, run.

When hungry, it feeds from anywhere at all. It folds its prey in and dissolves it within. That little one in the borrowed skull (APT-014) wears this thing's remains, too. Which it met first — the living one or the corpse — I do not know.
