Euhaplorchis Californiensis

Named after Euhaplorchis californiensis — a real flatworm that infects fish brains and compels them to swim erratically near the surface, making them easy prey. In Mewgenics, it delivers SPD +4, one of the more significant speed boosts available on a trinket, while inflicting Confusion on the host. The erratic behavior from Confusion mirrors the infected fish's loss of self-preservation. A tempting upgrade for speed-focused builds that can tolerate or counteract the Confusion, or for cats where random action selection is less catastrophic.
