Bogmoss

The Bogmoss uses its vines to hold together the host's old skeleton structure as a means to make itself to appear larger. This new stage in life has granted the Bogmoss the ability to travel on its own without the help of other creatures. Since they have a new means of locomotion and have become significantly larger, the Bogmoss has decided to become a predator instead of a parasite. It uses the vines to ensnare prey and brings them closer to its hollow fangs where it injects a very deadly and fast-acting venom that causes paralysis and necrosis. Bogmosses usually enjoy taking large bites out of their prey, just as a reminder that they are no longer the bloodsucker they used to be. Along the lengths of its vines, new Mossjoints grow at a slow rate where they fall off and begin their own adventure. After a Bogmoss obtains enough nutrients they find a pond or swamp bog and become rooted to the bottom of the water transforming into a Shambog.
