1. Just to say – dirty parasite kint he deserves his mutual death. It provoked ick it’s gross and also makes me feel sad.

2. Barnacles ?

3. Blistering barnacles

   

4. I say we take off and nuke the whole site from orbit.

   It’s the only way to be sure.

5. Unless he’s operating a legitimate business in a loyalist area, whatever parasites he has probably won’t kill him.

6. Weird place for a parasite, generally they like to keep their host alive so they can Syphon/siphon (I don’t know how to spell this word apparently)the goodness from them. I know prawns, langoustines, crabs etc. can be riddled with ones looking like this but normally they are tucked away or under something (shell) to protect them.
   I almost feel like this one attached either after death or very close to it.hard to tell scale but it looks huge

7. Thats her undercarriage (apron)
