Winter cyst

Winter cysts are the first naturally evolved symbiont that appeared. These slug-like, slimy polyps burrow into the heads of willing or helpless hosts; driving their roots into the head of the host and connecting directly to the host's brainstem and bloodstream. Similar to stormstalks , winter cysts can then use their one baleful eye to project a blast of freezing cold at an opponent. Unlike other symbionts that are depowered when not bonded, the winter cyst can also emit this freezing blast when detached from a host as well. Attaching a winter cyst or removing it does damage to its host. Winter cysts can understand Undercommon , but communicate telepathically to their host once bonded. [1]
