Spike Louse

Spike Louse

related to the Gravel Louse this pest is native to Bolo and tormented Boloth until the Boloth joined the Union and could avail themselves to Union technology.

These 6- 8 cm insectoid pests are blood suckers and cause festering wounds by laying their eggs into the wounds.

The eggs are then carried by the host circulatory system all around the body and cause an untreated Boloth (or any other Carbon based being with blood ) to die a slow and painfull death.

Union Auto Docs and Nanites are the best and treatment as the nanites clean the infestation at the source.

The Union Fire Department has deployed Bio Infestation teams  to Bolo to erradicate the pest altogether.

Only a small number is kept at Venus Zoo.

If a Boltoh compares a being with a Spike Louse it is the greatest insult and means the person is a pain inflicting, annoying person. If a Boloth uses this insult, it is better to leave very fast, because a physical attack is very likley.
