This has been a while on my to do list and kalooh kalah! Parasites are here!
Parasites are awful but some have their uses and are even trade items.  Some are more like symbiotes. Anytime you eat unprocessed meat of get covered in gore parasites are a risk. Especially in dungeons and meat wizard labs.

Monsters you meet might have some of these. A dungeon might have one to three being common or a faction tainted or poorest of a faction might be untouchable minority.

09 Eyeworms infest filthy water and swim into eyes then enter the eyeball jelly to breed and live after a month worms are visible and horrible to look out. The victim releases eggs from  tear ducts when crying or face gets wet. After three months the victim must save or tear out or burn own eyes out. After another month the worms infect the brain inducing host to drown self in a river or well
10 Genital Centipedes tiny larvae live in filth on dungeon floors and enter the urinary tract. As they grow host experiences itchiness and pain when urinating. After a month a female host births a giant centipede and will continue to do so each month. A male host finds penis swollen and red and twitching and eventually explodes. The male host usually dies if fails a save but if lives is reduced to 1HP and no penis or testicles. They are also sexually transmitted
11 Voice Leech lives in fluid and may swim into a drinking creatures throat. Some put them in potion bottles as a trap. Each day the host saves or loses a HP. If this happens three times in a row the victim also saves or chokes. If they succeed their voice stops working and the victim keeps repeating saves to avoid HP loss and choking. A hot wire inserted into the throat might kill it
12 Manna Wasp Grub is spread by tiny wasps often in sleep atracted to spell casters. The worms grow in brain and after a week the host save each day or lose one level of spell or magic ability. After 12 levels are absorbed the wasp hatch from the casters disgusting exploding skull

Some crops fertilized with infected human or animal waste may carry eggs also
15 Sweet worms infect victims through improperly cooked meat. The worms after three days make the host smell deliciously edible attracting new possible hosts and sexual partners.

16 Swarmlings appear to be spread by cloud of stinging insects that in large amounts can be fatal. Mostly victim escapes but if fails a save becomes a host. After a few days they begin to fear fire and increase apetite. After a week they hear buzzing noises constantly. Every week after host saves or explodes releasing a hostile swarm 
17 Gargoyle Grub has a complex life cycle. Usually infected by black gelatin in fouled water or tombs. The host loses a HP from cramp and pain. If they die of HP Loss a black venomous worm bursts from the corpse and spreads more slime. If the host fails a weekly save roll after managing to survive the HP loss then a streamlined demonic gargoyle like creature bursts from the victim and rapidly grows into a larger creature spreading black slime and devouring any creatures it can 
18 Devil Larvae mostly infects evil persons and is spread by imps who drop a baby grub in a sleepers nose or mouth while invisible.

A Imp or hell hag or demon will be atracted to the birth cries and carry it to the evil planes where the creature has enormous value as a damned soul on the path to evolving into a devil, demon or daemon
19 Bone Worms enter a host through food or garbage. The host might carry the infection for years harmlessly. Each month the host makes a save or loses a STR point from joint and bone pain. At 6 STR most require a walking stick, half move rate and develop a hump. At 3 most are bed ridden and bones weak and broken. At zero the bones are gelatinous and the worms burst from the corpse crawling to new hosts. Some hatch into flies
20 Corpsefly grub giant stinging flies deposit eggs on skin often teaming up to distract animal while they take turns laying eggs. A d4 flies with a HP each that bite for 1HP. The grubs enter the body growing to walnut size living for months. A skilled surgeon can lure grubs out with a lump of bacon. After six months the victim maxes a save or dies as 2d6 fist size flies erupt from their flesh. If save made they survive with 1Hp per fly and a number of large scars. Towards the end you can see things squirm under the skin and a surgeon might remove them
21 Blood Ticks these creatures infest garbage and beds and are quite common. Occasionally a host gets heavily infected in area with plague proportions. Such a victim save once a day or loses a HP.

Does effect the sound of the speech and kinda creepy the bug looks at what is happening outside mouth 
27 Groin Barnacle lives in the water and affixes itself while small over a hosts genitalia. The mollusc increases the victims sex drive and infects potential mates but prevents functional intercourse or breeding. If meet another with a barnacle they both get urge to mate in water to spread the pest. It is hard to remove from the host without mutilating them or leaving reproductively viable. The host needs to save to cooperate with any atempt to remove it as the barnacle floods the body with fear if anything threattens it
28 Skin barnacles live in the sea and affix themselves to skin making a rough sharp hard surface. Each month host must save or they increase over the body +1AC -1 MOV -1DEX

Each week it grows bigger by a HP if victim fails a save. At 4HP it is 12 inches. At 6HP it is size of a cattle dog. By this stage it has mandibles around victims neck and 12 claws grip the host. If bug is threatened the host must save or flee till exhausted. The host loves the bug and tries to protect it. The bug drops eggs in garbage as host moves and increasingly directs the host to wander and eat food it likes.

34 Chaos Ticks are carried by monsters and demons to this world. They start tiny and live under the skin but once infest a host begin to grow gaining a HP per week. At 6HP the tick bursts from the host inflicting a d6 and will flee to lay eggs in some garbage before death. The host if survives must save or develops a lesser cosmetic mutation. Cultists often deliberately use these to gain mutations
35 Blood Beast infects host by cuts and blood contact. Infect the host slowing them, the host must save once per week or loses a MOV point. They become lazier and less mobile. At zero MOV the thickened congealed blood hatches into a ochre jelly like horror which kills the host. It seeks to infect by damaging animals. The unstable thing melts after 24 hours into stinking rotten ropey bloody mess 
36 Gut Grub infests human through food or feces. Each month after three months infection the victim saves or the grub bursts through the stomach for 2d6 damage. If host lives the grub sits content making the host hand feed it while it replaces the digestive tract. The host eats more but no longer eats with the mouth and only seeks lovers who also carry a worm so they can mate and both lay eggs by spitting them into leftover food or latrines. The hosts feel protective of the worms as if they were parts of their own body and perfectly natural
37 Trilobiter is a horrible bug like crab thing that attaches to swimmers with claws then inserts a barbed hook into the hosts spine and drains the host via a feeding tube one hp a day. The host comes to serve the bug which if needed can give the host back a d4 HP to keep it alive if needed. The affected host is immune to other parasites and disease while the bug filters the blood. The bug lets host wander as it pleases and will drop offspring on travels
38 Sucker snake is a blind white serpent that when bites a host fuses to them, feeding off them and coiling about host for years. A d6 snakes might feed off a single host each drinking HP a day.

They often live in caves crawl out at night and try to affix themselves to sleeping hosts 
39 Rock Parasites are stony looking spiked molluscs that shoot themselves at prey and make a hit roll.

After three months the host painfully has shelled molluscs escape through the urinary tract which if they fail a save causes a d6 damage and a permanently loss of bladder control 
40 Troll Tumours form when a host accidentally breathes in troll blood particles. A saving throw resists but if failed, horrible polyps and tumours and cysts begin to form. Each day infected the host must save or lose a point of CHA. When the CON is reduced to half the victim becomes insane and chaotic evil lusting for murder and regenerates 1HP/round. At zero the host sheds their skin and becomes a young troll rapidly growing to full size rapidly as it eats. Some have managed to control the insanity and halt the progression of growth by drugs and magic. Some say this is how trolls became the monsters as we know them today
41 Fungal Crown infests from spoors and is often carried by giant insects. If breathed by host and fails a save they begin to grow fungal antlers or a crown structure. Every week after the crown blooms the host must save or is compelled to go to the highest point in the most heavily populated area and releases more spores. Each month make a save or loses a INT point and at zero INT the host becomes a zombie
42 Darkspoor is a fungal infection where the host if fails a save begins to grow mushrooms in their skin after a week. Each week after they get a save and if fail lose one of each attribute. When any stat reaches zero they crumble into a pile of putrid compost. Once shrooms bloom the host gives off spores daily
43 Black Mould infects victim with spores. If fail first save the host has mould growing in lungs. If so each week they must save or lose a CON point. At zero they die and over a d3 days the swollen bloated body becomes a giant puffball that bursts spreading mould over local area. Patches of mould exist in damp basements, sewers and dungeons. Urine or fire can kill patches of mould without spreading spores
44 Brain Mould infects a hosts brain causing hallucinations. After 48 hours infected if fail a save the host euphorically believes everything is wonderful and interprets threats as non threats.

After another week and another failed save the berserker has +2 hit and damage, can fight into -10 HP before death and once a fight starts will keep killing anything that moves only calming when nothing moves for a 10 minute turn. Once dead a crop of fungus grow on the corpse. Many creatures eating fungus enjoy the feelings of confidence not realizing it is psychosis and the risk of fungus eating their brain. Even some animals will eat it but most quit after making a first save
46 Puffing Rot is spread by spores in dungeon or eating a infected animal. 24 hours after exposure make a save and if fails host starts to fever, eating and drinking as much as possible before sleeping. After a 48 hour sleep the host is totally infected with fungus. The host mopes about stupidly and smelling delicious making them highly attractive to predators. After a d6 days if not eaten they walk to a patch of edible vegetation or fungi and explode covering all in spores attempting to infect grazers. If host is eaten it tastes delicious and mushroomy
47 Fungal Blessing if infected by eating a host the new host makes a save or begins to turn into a mushroom  man or a mushroomanimal. The process takes a week and by the end of a week the host is a self aware ambulatory immortal fungus and seeks to join a colony or a fungus cavern to live forever. While transformation takes place the hosts droppings will sprout mushrooms in a d3 days which also spread the condition. Goblins sell these as imortality shrooms to dupes and know how to cook them to make eatingthem safe
48 Goldenrot Mould is spread by spores in dungeons. If the potential host fails a save they begin to grow yellowish mould on their skin over a d4 days. They look hideous at this stage and become always thirsty and seek damp location. After a week they get a second save if failed the mould fully blooms into yellow mould and moving risks setting off the choking spores that may kill the host. This save is repeated every month if they survive. A mould covered person might live for years  
49 Devil Smut is often used by goblins to exterminate humans. Spores are contaminate food which is eaten. Eater makes a save and if fails is now a host. After a d6 days they develop some black spoor patches on skin, easily rubbed off. These spores infect human grain crops including wheat, barley, oats, corn and rice and within 3 months can destroy all fields. Burning the crops and leaving fields fallow for ten years is the only cure. The carrier is unharmed but may trigger massive famine
50 Widows Rot mostly found in dungeons as spores amongst garbage of fungi caves. If exposed host gets a save after 24 hours. Failure starts to turn fingers, toes and genitals jet black like carbon.

After a month another save or lose a d3 DEX and after another month save or a flagellum erupts from their chest and snatches food for the host and whips anything that gets in the way of food or harms the host. Aster a year most victims find a pond and shed skin living on as a giant single cell swimming horror with a flagellum that infects water 
54 Cilates are a protozoan infection that after a week covers the body in short black hairs that enhance their swimming ability. After a hundred hours fooling about in water their skin splits and they become a furry giant single cell creature which swims with tiny hairs
55 Microspora infects a host through feces, digestion or airways. Produces cysts throughout body causing a random loss of a stat point each month if fail a save. On death a spiral structure erupts from the chest and can fire spores into sewerage or near a creature that breathes within 1" for a d4 days
56 Red Tide is a protozoa that blooms in over-fertilized water. In high concentrations the water turns blood red and contaminates by touch.

At zero HP the body explodes spattering infected spores over 2" which will infect water or any living creatures
57 Slime Hood infects through water, food or bloody matter. After a week of exposure the victim saves or begins to secrete clear slime, especially over the face. At three weeks the victim saves or becomes a water breather who will seek water. After a week in water the victims skin splits revealing a huge transparent single cell blob with four flagellum to move that spreads more microscopic versions of itself. Some races use this to make humanoids aquatic then cure them before they become a protozoid
58 Zyrorg is a deadly protozoa that lives in certain soils, especially in tropical areas where it may get into ground water during floods. Harder to reach infectious stage in moderate climates most of the year. A d3 hours of exposure the victim saves or dies. Anything eating them the next month must save or die. After a month they make a new save and with success become immune to further predations. With a failure the host is a carrier who effects damp soil, sewerage and food they touch. Sometimes a infected animal kills a whole village off 
59 Brain Protozoa enters ears or nose through bad water or blood. Save on contact to resist. With a failure the victim has the parasite in their brain, success means they shake it off in a d4 days with -2 on all rolls. A month later the infected gets a new save or their brain becomes under the influence of the parasite seeking danger, hostile predators or  a body of drinking water to drown in. The victim might be imprisoned or protected from suicide but turns more inhuman, cunning and evil with stronger desire to spread the disease
60 Shoggothic Plasm the victim has been infected with micro shoggoths that rewrite the being to become a shoggoth. After a week the victim saves or begins to manifest mutations like extra eyes, limbs or tentacles.

After a d3 years like this they lose all humanity and become a complete but small shoggoth unable to even look human with effort
61 Goldenbough is a form of misstletoe that grows on the body instead of a tree in clumps. Druids think it is a good thing. After inhalation of dust from flowers, save or become infected. After a week growth starts and by a month a footwide cluster of yellow growths and leaves hangs in a clump from the host body. The victim makes a save every moth or a new cluster starts but when finally resist no more appear. Some victims have a d4 or a d6 bunches62 Krinoid is a seed that falls from the heavens. A host is infected when the pod hatches and the plant germ is implanted under the skin. Witha failed save, in 24 hours the host becomes a shambling mound. After 24 hours it takes root and grows a foot and a HD a day. It can animate plants and trees to defend it. At 50HD it shoots seed pods into low dacaying orbit to spread across the planet. It has it's HD in plant monster defenders. At 30 HD it is telepathic and threatens meat beings with the new world order 
63 Algoloid is carried in water or airborne spores in humid tropical forests. Beings infected with a failed save turn green skinned after a week. After a month the subject has a layer of algae over the skin and is photosynthetic halving their food intake. After death the algae d4 1=animates the corpse as a zombie to spread spores 2=sprouts a colonial plant like structure that spreads spores 3=forms a slug like mass of plant tissue that crawls into water to disperse 4=d6 midget plantsmen erupt from the body and flee the area to start a colony
64 Corpse Flower plant grows throughout the victims tissues if they fail a save from touching a flower or insects that have spores on their feet. After a month the host makes another save or sprouts a d4 stinking fleshy flowers that attract animals and flies that last a d4 days. Each month the host must save or bloom a d4 more
65 Devils hair grows from spores in vegetation. If host infected and saveves they become immune. If fail after a week thin green hair begins to grow from skin.

67 Body Snatcher Flower has a lovely flower growing from a melon like seedpod. The flower shoots spores and tendrils into a host who if fails a save breaks down into a tendril filled mush that dries into grey ash. The melon grows into a human size pod in 24 hours which hatches a plant being replicant with memories in tact but no animal emotions and the desire to spread the plants
68 Elfroot often is spread by elf darts and arrows deliberately or possibly as spore dust. It is a weapon and not natural. If a human is infected and fails a save, they feel tired and a urge to sleep on the earth. while asleep they sprout roots and over 48 hours turn into a ten foot tall tree, 1in6 a type of fruit tree. The victims soul is trapped in the tree and now lives at the slow time scales of the plant world not noticing the smoky shadows of rapidly moving animal
69 Elf Smut infects grain and grass crops and if consumed the victim saves of begins to have supernatural visions. If they keep eating for a week and fail a second save the visions are more intense and permanent, with the host being incapable of understanding reality and living in a fictional world of their making. At best these madmen can be locked up or possibly treated with magic. When they die their brains break down over 24 hours into black mush that oozes out their mouth, ears and nose. The muck spreads spores that grow on crops
70 Shroomrot is spread by spores entering wounds in dank places. Once infected if the host fails a save they begin sprouting mushrooms over their body in a d6 days that look revolting. After six months the skin is covered and the host seeks to eat rotten garbage. After a year the host goes to sleep a final time and becomes a bed of fungus that spreads more spores
71 Goblin Snot is a milder version of green slime that spreads through sneezing. If breathed the host makes a save. On a failure the host after a week has blocked sinuses and airways.

When the host eventually dies make the body a save or the slime mutates and becomes a mas off green slime over a d6 hours
72 Chaos Ticks are fist sized red bugs that latch onto sleeping creatures and numbs any sensation of feeling while they drink. They like to hide under clothes and the host gets a save to notice the tick. The tick has 1HP and infects a victim with a chaos mutation protozoa. After a week after first tick bite the host must save or develop a minor mutation. This only works once from the same tick source  
73 Chaos Earwigs crawl inside ears and can drive a host who fails to save into a insane berserker. Some use the bugs to infect prisoners in gladiators. The controlled host will not fight other hosts and they will unite to attack new potential hosts. When such a victim is held by several hosts they spit earwigs into the victims ears or nose or mouth. Victims can be cured magically or with medicinal products. Some chaos cultists can control the bugs and in turn control a gang of crazed beserkers
74 Skull Squids infest the body through open wounds in water or from the bite of a adult squid or when a squidman pierces the skull of a victim to drink some cerebral fluids. The host makes a save and if fail the squd grow in the human blood and eat each other. The largest ones grows in the brain. Aster 6 weeks the host feels ill, confused and has a headache. After entering a agitated sleep the squid finishes of the brain then operates the body as a puppet to take it to water where the skull bursts and a d6 pregnant squid jump out
75 Gremlin Spoors enter the body through the lungs. Host makes a save to resist or in a d6 days something is moving under the skin. At the end of the month the host saves or will burst open to birth 3d6 gremlins. If they may the save a d6 harmlessly pass out in the toilet 
76 Darkspawn is carried as black spores that enter airways or digestive tract. Once inside they convert the matter of the body into a living being of darkness. Ater a d6 days the host has violent urges and starts to form patches of jet black chitinous skin. The host become light sensative and hides by day and in a d6 days they are transformed full into a demonic soldier of darkness in the service of a dark god with no independant will
77 Hellspawn infect the host who commits certain sins while in presence of the spawn lurking in ethereal space. If host fails a save the dimensional parasite attaches itself to the hosts soul and uses it to enter the world. After a d6 days of nightmares and voices telling host to perform unspeakable acts the host gets one more save if failing forms a devilish face usually on their chest. The spawn takes control of the body but the head of the host may still speak and see what happens with its body. The spawn serves the minions of hell to the best of its ability. Possibly a exorcism with other healing magic could remove the spawn
78 Chest Octopi enter the body through water as a tiny cell and grows inside if the host fails a save, the octopus grows. If any attempt is made to remove it it strangles the heart and constricts breathing. After a month when the host approaches a body of water (the parasite will induce thirst in the host) and their chest will fatally explode releasing the octopus to swim away
79 Mutant Spores float in the wind and are breathed in. Spores come from fungi like pods or decaying mutant corpses. If host fails a save they develop a minor mutation and another every week they fail another save (1in6 of major mutation). Once host has more mutations than HD they become a amorphous monstrosity. The host must save vs each of the conditions of cannibalism, sex mania and homicidal mania. If a save is made they can resist the urges and make a save vs remaining effects each week. When all three conditions are in effect the host becomes a shoggoth. Anyone injured or in close proximity to the host might be contaminated by spores  
80 Brainbugs begin as plankton size and enter the body through water. Once inside it moves into the brain. Host gets one save to resist.
