Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dangerous Parasites

As their name suggests, the Mock Animal Ears family have a shape that imitates a pair of animal ears. They're remarkable parasites that take up residence on people's heads.

Another notable attribute is the reproductive organs which take the shape of a tail, appearing on maturity in the host's lower back region.

The young, which look like a hairball, are spread by the wind, and after sticking to a person's head, take a few hours to plant their roots. Once this is done, they cannot be removed. The host cannot be saved. Abandon all hope.
