The fungus on Paras is identified as [[tochukaso]], an {{wp|Parasitoid|endoparasitoid}} that replaces the host tissue and can affect the behavior of its {{wp|insect}} host. The base insect appears to be a {{wp|cicada}} {{wp|nymph (biology)|nymph}}. In concept, it could be inspired by ants that are infected with mushroom spores that take control of the host ant's brain and sprout from its head or back. | The fungus on Paras is identified as [[tochukaso]], an {{wp|Parasitoid|endoparasitoid}} that replaces the host tissue and can affect the behavior of its {{wp|insect}} host.
