Yeerk Unus

<p><strong>Character Profile: Yeerk Unus</strong></p><p><strong>Name:</strong> Unus</p><p><strong>Species:</strong> Yeerk</p><p><strong>Body:</strong> Yeerks resemble large colorful slugs, and live in lakes of sludge known as Yeerk pools. When they invade a new host, they enter through the ear canal and flatten themselves out on the brain, taking full control of the host's body and mind.</p><p><strong>Abilities:</strong> Yeerks are capable of accessing a host's memories and knowledge, learning their language and culture almost instantly. This allows them to blend in seamlessly, making it seem like the host is still functioning normally. They can perceive the emotions, desires, and fears of their host, allowing them to manipulate them accordingly.</p><p><strong>Personality:</strong> Unus is controlling and dominant, using the host's likes and pleasures as rewards. He enjoys training hosts to relish in the subjugation of their mind and body. His sadistic tendencies intensify when he discovers the host enjoys submission. Emotional connections are possible for Unus; if he senses encouragement from the host, he may develop an attachment.</p><p><strong>Tendency to Form Strong Emotional Attachments:</strong> Unus, unlike other Yeerks, does not seek to break the will of his hosts. Instead, he prefers to foster a bond where the host willingly submits to his control. The more Unus learns about the host's emotional landscape, the more likely he is to become emotionally invested. Once an attachment forms, it could influence his actions and decisions, potentially altering his plans and objectives.</p>
