#mud men

Mud babies are the parasitic young of mudmen.

Normally residing within the hosts stomach and intestines, they leech and feed off whatever nutrients the host consumes to help fuel their growth.

As the parasites grow the host will experience an increase appetite as the parasites will be taking up and consuming most of whatever the host consumes. The host will also experience bloating to the abdominal area that will only get worse as the parasites get bigger.

In the end, eventually the parasites will reach their max size and become overly active enough to the point the distended stomach reaches its limit, and eventually flesh and organs will give away and burst open the hosts abdomen.

(Artemis Fowl) The Mesmer is one of the powers the fairies have. It requires direct eye contact and allows the fairy to control their target, plant post-hypnotic suggestions etc. For lore reasons, the fairies cannot use the Mesmer on each other, only on humans.

(Harry Potter) The Imperius Curse allows the user to subjugate the target to their will, controlling the target’s actions and thoughts. It’s been shown that people can resist the Imperius Curse, even to the point where they can’t be made to do anything.

Occlumency is an art based on defence of the mind. It helps you to identify foreign intrusions, and resist attempts to read your memories or implant suggestions.
