Description
Paras, first thought to be insects are now understood to be deep cave crabs. They have glow in the dark eyes to attract any small insects that live in the near pitch black caves. They are usually solitary creatures but occationally gather near large underground rivers where they breed in large groups.They have a symbyotic relationship with a unique type of fungus that grows on their back, the crab gives the mushrooms nutrients while the fungus gives the crab a means to defend itself by gicing off poisonus spores.
Hope you like it

I don't understand what you mean? It's a symbiotic, not parasitic relationship. The mushroom won't kill the insect because it will continuously provide it with nutrients throughout their lives, and in turn the mushroom protects its hostΒ

During an expedition into Mt. Moon I had found this excellent specimen of the Paras species. This small male, proven to be one by the shorter abdomen, was in excellent condition as shown by the vibrant blue eyes, though weather or not the good health will continue into evolution will be unknown.

I was browsing through your pokemon evo gallery, and had to do a double-take at this. At first, I imagined the waterfall was moving on my screen. If that's not a photo bg...amazing job.
Either way though, your work is amazing enough. Keep it up.

what's interesting was, once i saw a story in which the mushroom on it was in fact a parasite slowly manipulating it and taking over it's brain.
once it evolves into a parasect, the control get much more involved and it's mental state gets to the level of a schizophrenic. it eventually dies because it cannot support the growing weight of the shroom, and it has also pretty much drained it of all it's resources. the spores release, attach onto any crabs that are nearby, as it tends to populate areas near crabs or paras, and the process repeats.
very dark.
