Watahiko

Born from a mysterious green sludge, this entity is actually a parasitic fungal mushi that replaces unborn embryos to inhabit human hosts. Originating from the union of Aki and Yasuke, the creature establishes a central hive mind where all clones share collective knowledge and rapid, bamboo-like growth. While these identical offspring communicate across all life stages, their cycle eventually ends in spore release to create new base organisms, though they remain highly vulnerable to fire.
