Description I was inspired by exotic tropical parasites - they take over the mind of their host (typically insects), driving the host creature to some terrible death that enables it to spread its spore to more unwitting victims. The transformation of Leucochloridium paradoxum and Cordyceps fungi are particularly dramatic.

Enjoy.

The skulls on the berries are a nice touch.

So original. I didn't know there were such kind of parasites, even googled them. Catching work. Awesome! ^^
