Bacterium dermdiastri
Size: 3micrometer Hosts:
Bacterium kleptospiritus was unable to infect certain nefarid species, such as Neiplacue ferrodontus, due the electricity generated in their fill. However some members were able to exploit the thin layer of epithial cells on their back, due being in a symbiotic relationship with Simalgearous xanthensis, killing it in the same manner as they did within the gills of other vertebrates, and entering their blood stream. Once they entered the bloodstream, they will start soaking up nutrients and reproducing once every 20 minutes. This will cause the host to eventually die of exhaustion, after which, they will exit the hosts. Some cells are also released through the hosts waste products.
In the case that the host is T. gigantocetus, all cells wills attempt to leave once the host shows an increase in the number of salts and sugar as well as nucleation proteins that are used to prevent the bloodstream from freezing over, signs that signals their entrance into zone 2. Though many cells will leave via the host’s excretions or dorsal epithial tissue, though this will still usually results in many cells dying from the cold.
Though most of their hosts are nefarid species, they will attempt to parasitize any vertebrates with a thin epidermis tissues whether if it is a natural part of the host if the host was somehow compromised(though the latter is not ecologically significant enough to be noted)
