Object
Antimatter-Evolved Carnivorous Maggot
The maggot moves with unsettling aggression, its segmented body encased in a glossy green exoskeleton that resembles bubblewrap. Its mandibles glisten with the same unnatural fluid that coats the wounds it leaves, the substance reacting violently when exposed to antifungal spores. Unlike its lesser kin, this maggot's skin pulses subtly with an alien energy, betraying its antimatter-evolved nature as it yanks its body free from containment with inhuman force.
