[Music]

Mommy

the little tigers what the heck is going

on

them

run run

it's a fungus A Parasite when cordyceps

attacks it can actually change his host

Behavior causing you to seek out High

Ground

this ensures that the parasites

environment is their optimal heat and

maximal distribution of spores from the

immobilized host is achieved I'm a

blessed host

mom and dad I told them I told them

something bad would happen we could save

them there has to be a way right and

you're in your book there has to be

something we got to do something so it's

like a mind control mushroom it says it

mainly attacks insects and that yellow

dust scores
