Face Swapper

The face swappers (Dhahor’ko: bleeace’ki, Dhahor’ko plurar: bleeace’kiki) are a self-sustaining, worm-esque entities housed inside deep rifts within the Coils. They stretch the mass of a school bus in both diameter and linear measure, their length 45 feet. Each end is a maw with an underbite, filled with two rows of triangular teeth close upon one another, each row counting fifty. They appear very akin a large intestine, their bodies a row of meaty segments, coated with a layer of slimy mucus to keep their flesh flexible and hydrated.

Face Swapping Mechanism
Once a face swapper latches onto two individuals simultaneously, their skulls, bitten off right above the spinal cord with rigorous precision, will travel from one end to the next, just to be ejected upon the individual at the other end. Within the face swapper’s body houses a concoction of several bacteria and parasites that keep the head alive during the transition. Upon exit, the latched parasites aid the repairs, making certain the foreign head heals upon its new body upon a superficial level while the bacteria within help by trampling antibodies, thwarting bodily means of rejection.

It’s speculated that these creatures sustain themselves throughout this grotesque procedure. People who have been victim of a face swapper often speak of long lasting exhaustion and fragmented memory loss. Whether this is a side-effect of the brain, which may suffer damage during the short duration of oxygen deprivation, drainage upon a spiritual level, or a mixture of the aforementioned is unknown.

Micro Organisms
The following bacteria and parasite reside within a face swapper: S. spirillum is a bacteria only found in face swappers. It cultivates within the armillam tract where it lies in wait for a passing head. Once it ‘bumps’ with the head in question, it will infiltrate into its next host through the throat where it lies dormant until the head is ejected from the face swapper’s opposite maw. Once the head is attached to its new body, the bacteria grow active once coming into contact with the antibodies, fighting them into dormancy while the symbiotic translok’kiki aid flesh to heal. Furthermore, once transition has come to an end (with or without complications), the bacteria enters the body in full, spreading out to latch on to DNA strands, injecting chemicals that stupefy them into believing the foreign DNA is part of their genetic strain.

 * Translok’ki

Translok’kiki are worm-shaped parasites the size of a pen. They aid damaged tissue recover by exuding a regenerative mucus into the host’s bloodstream. To further support their host, they not only discharge slime, but knit lacerations together as makeshift stitches. Once the wound is fully healed, the translok’ki goes into necrosis, and eventually falls off the host.
