Swarm-Mother

A Swarm-Mother is an infectious hive demon that retains the appearance of the human host, save for numerous holes all throughout the body outside of the head. Close examination might reveal that the nostrils and ear canals are slightly larger than they should be. Swarm-Mothers are created by demonic rites carried out by other demons such as The Twisted or Tarangutans. One of these demons simply wanders with the will of it's brood, which is a specific kind of animal (usually insects or spiders) that are under the psychic control of the possessing demon. The weak point is located in the brain of the host, making it nearly impossible to free from possession. All such cases have ended with the freed host taking their own life, as the modifications made to the body are incredibly painful and victims report constantly feeling as though there are still bugs inside of them. 
While an initial Swarm-Mother requires other demons to be formed, they are capable of taking other humans and converting them in a rapid fashion. So long as there are an unusual number of the same kind of creature in an area, a Swarm-Mother should always be considered infectious. They are able to command other bugs of their kind to create another hive. Swarm-Mothers are never stuck to a single host body, they can move to any other that the host eyes can see if it is also a living hive.
