Carl's Diary
Day Three

Minarets of dust plague the under areas of the canopy, I have terrible oddsma and this is no help at all, I just don't think that all this hassle is worth it for a lousy paramite he could get from rupturefarms stock, I know that he wants to be independent but raiding the yards couldn't be too fucking hard since they are no longer running!
Anyway, I have tracking an elusive species of paramite known to cast webs stronger than Kepler (weight for weight) these creatures are intelligent and eusocial wit ha simple yet dynamic linguistic ability derived from hisses of varying degrees of intensity and pitch.

The nests are structured like small families, there are paramite queens though the number of paramites produced are much smaller and therefore paramite queens are much more common, around three hundred mites are born in the queens lifetime, any females are destroyed so as not to contend with the delicate and intricate balance of power however, once a queen grows old, she is superseded much like the characteristics of bees and wasps.

Hue
Day 11

Well, what can I say, Hue deserves some moolah for the fleech, I have engineered the DNA from the fresh corpse and impregnated a green common fleech with the substance, the babies will be born in three weeks and I can't wait. You see I am getting local news light from a few papers as far out as Bodran! I intend to sell the story for a total of 2300 moolah!!!

Hope you don't mind the use of your city name LS

I have no problem with it. It makes Oddworld seem more of a functioning place, if different people's stories kinda link.

Yay paramites and moolah!

Ok sorry I'm a week late.

Carl's Diary
Day Four

Ok, the paramite, looks like I'm going to be here longer than anticipated you see, I have been webbed, I was stalking the paramite from my last writing but it trapped me into a corner where it was joined by two more paramites previously hiding in their nests. They have webbed me up and strung me to the top of the hive ceiling. If I survive I will produce a few pages of notes of the paramite cycles, intelligence and instincts etcetera

I think I would freak out if I was webbed by paramites, not write in my diary.

Carl's Diary
Days Five

Well, if your wondering how I survived, I have claws. Took me a while to work that one out but eventually, I made it. As promised, I will now add a detailed report on the paramite species.

Species: Paramite
Sub Species: Pure Mite
Colouring: White body

Paramite Life:
Life as a paramite is spent sleeping, hunting and conversing. Amazingly, paramites show the intelligence commonly found in eusocial species. A paramite will sleep through the day and is accustomed the dank lower levels of Paramonia there are also colonies found across other parts of Mudos including Necrum and the plains regions. The particular species under study has taken a pale hue as colouration in the skin lessens due to constant shade from the sun.

Paramite Sociality:
Paramites hunt in colonies specifically packs, there is usually an alpha male that leads the pack, these are found in the central complex of the hives near the queen paramite, the queen guides the colony to an extent but is considered the hives birthing machine as she does little else. Paramites will actively defend territory from other packs but, the lack of paramites in the Paramonian jungles means that paramite on paramite attacks are almost unheard of.
There are about forty paramites in a Paramonian hive but herds are much larger and are found on plains where the right conditions for more numbers are ranted (more food, females etcetera.)
Unlike most animals, the Paramite can engage in rudimentary conversation, while strictly for means of commanding the pack or defending others, it is still a sign of advanced evolution.
Paramites can also care for others and prefer to be in a pack rather than by themselves, it is theorized that paramites generate a pheromone that is strengthened as more paramites join to hunt; this bond helps bonding processes and allows paramites to act in their colonies best interests without question. Paramites generally avoid other predator species of Mudos, namely Fleeches and Scrabs. Although Fleeches inhabit many of the same forests and caves as Paramites and may be active at the same time, the two creatures will not normally attack each other, as they both pose a risk to each other. Fleeches will only attack Paramites if they are cornered; Paramites will only attack Fleeches if told to by another Paramite.

At least Carl's not dead. Not that I care about an Intern, but rather so we can keep a viewpoint character and keep the science flowing.

Since this is Hue's diary, how come he hasn't appeared for a while?

Ok, (maybe) long awaited next instalment:

Hue Day 15

Well, I'm sorry I haven't written in a while but I haven't had the time! I have been very busy staving off scientific assaults from vykers pharmaceuticals you see, the fleeches I discovered seem to be very intelligent and can hunt in packs, after some very tentative research I found out that the fleech has a triple helix DNA with some spaces missing, this must allow it to develop the characteristics of what it eats, I fed a test subject (an impregnated green fleech) with a live fuzzle with the capability to mimic speech, well, stupidly I forgot that a fleech has no larynx however, it has acquired an odd grunt when it needs feeding, how quaint! Maybe I wont send it to the burner after all!

Huh, didn't know that about fleeches. Never cared about the stinkin' things, I guess.

I'm gonna be honest, it's a bit of fanon there to spice things up, since it's my own species of fleech, why not
