[Koekepan]

There is a class of creature, frequently studied alongside arthropods, called a nematode. It is a sort of worm, generically known as a roundworm.

They are frequently parasites, of vertebrates and invertebrates alike.

What might a shaman of such a creature's spiritual face seem like?

Rather than the traumatic alteration into the physical hybrids of the insect shamans, perhaps the possession starts slowly, and gradually takes over more and more of the host's spiritual side until the humanity falls away, superfluous, and the manifest spirits breed and leave a nest of eggs which the shaman can use for more possessions, each of which gradually increases the shaman's power until the shaman's flesh, too, becomes mere food for more spirits.

Anyone have any thoughts on their lifecycle and statistics?
