  • Spawnmothers start out quite similar to normal queen or soldier parasites, as one such spawnmother was able to take Shakaar Edon host without seriously damaging his body. However, in order to grow large enough to spawn appreciable numbers of young, the spawnmother must exit the host's body. A spawning spawnmother could grow to be four meters long and taller than an average humanoid at its centre. They had the same pincers and tail orientation as smaller parasites but they were so big the pincers were essentially useless due to being immobile. Their rippled flesh was semi transparent, allowing anyone observing to see the thousands of egg sacs growing within. A spawnmother could effectively remote control host bodies to do her bidding by commanding her offspring with her telepathy, and could also create quite a loud scream. She could also keep a host body alive after sustaining massive damage, including the consumption of vital internal organs, as evidenced by Dexter Remmick's hollowed thoracic cavity, which had no visible outward affect upon him at all. In the event of a spawnmother's death the entire colony would abandon their hosts and flee. (DS9 novel: Unity)
