The Host- See Weed

Description

Beneath the surface of a planet's global ocean, the See Weeds live anchored to the rocky seabed. These plant-like organisms need relatively little light to survive, so they absolutely thrive in shallow regions that are suffused with light from their binary suns, and can exist deeper underwater than any plants from Earth. Their leaves also function as eyes with very acute vision, taking in the spectacular vistas around them. See Weeds are able to share what they see and think with others of their kind thanks to a telepathic link shared by all members of the species. Due to their stationary bodies but highly active minds, creative individuals that compose stories or imagine stunning visuals are highly prized in See Weed society. The often substantial age of an individual can be determined by counting their arms and eyes; a See Weed grows a ring of six arms every decade, and an eye on each one every two years. The one shown above is approximately twenty three years old, though See Weeds can live for well over a thousand years.
When the Souls first invaded the See Weeds' world, they mistook the plants' inability to move for an inability to escape. When the See Weeds of the southern forest learned what was happening to their kindred in the north, they made a devastating choice: rather than submit to Soul implantation, they curled up all of their leaves at once and faded away from lack of light. The sensation of thousands of minds suddenly disappearing is one that will forever haunt the collective memory of this ocean world's inhabitants.
