Upgrade line
Base form and its two upgrade options — the pair costs the same, so pick on strengths
Stats are compared against Parasite: green is higher, red ▼ lower. A badged glyph is a power the base form does not have; a gold-ringed one is a power it has under the same name but with different rules.

Lore
Parasites are an easy — but nonetheless horrendous — way to create the Hive’s foot soldiers. Attaching themseves to unfortunate passersby, they gain a sturdy, disposable host. Although the host does not possess exceptional agility, it still allows the parasites to be effective in melee, while their own bodies are predisposed to engage the enemy at short distance.
