Hookworm

Hookworms are blood sucking parasites from your intestines, and are Mascotia's most common resident. It is thought they make up over 98% of the population, and Its nearly impossible to go without getting them somehow. Unlike the Terran hookworms, Mascotia's hookworms are bright red to mimic bloodworms so they can be eaten, and can suck any creature's blood. They have a massive lore system, that centers around Amphibians. It is almost certain they are wrong, but news does travel quickly when there's nearly 98 million "apartments".
