A '''neural parasite''' is an alien lifeform that attaches itself to the nervous system of a host creature. The host creature nourishes the parasite, as in standard parasitism. A neural parasite takes parasitism a step further; it is an intelligent creature (or colony of such creatures), and it uses the host for more than just food purposes. By infiltrating the host's nervous system, it can use the host for any purpose it wishes.
