# Brain-like Parasites ## Known Facts - A small brain-like creature emerged from [[Captain Dunn]] after his death. - Dunn had acted without pain, fear or independent judgement during Xor’s attack. - Another compromised guard rescued the parasite and fled. - These creatures can hollow out or replace a person and use the body as a puppet. - Their presence means Crown Guard compromise may be physical and almost impossible to detect from ordinary behaviour. ## Open Questions - How many people have been replaced? - Are the parasites created by [[Xor]], brought from the [[Shadowfell]], or produced elsewhere? - Can victims be saved before the parasite fully takes control?
