Duvalia

The Duvalia is the result of a unique Type 3 Plaga mutation that triggers upon the death of the host. But unlike the Cephalo that protrudes from the neck, the Duvalia bursts out of the host’s upper half, leaving the Majini’s entire torso dangling uselessly below. The Duvalia is covered by a hardened exo-skeleton to protect the fragile parasite beneath. When it gets too close, the exoskeleton retracts enough to reveal a mouth-like protrusion, which it uses to try and swallow its enemies. These creatures take their name from a type of succulent plant that grows in Africa and blossoms into a similar shape.

The Duvalia mutation mimics this flower thanks to its five appendages surrounding the central bulb. The hardening of the exoskeleton adds significant weight to the creature, which still uses its human legs to move. This extra weight causes the creature to lose its ability to run and jump. The Duvalia is named after a succulent plant which means ‘carrion flower’ in Swahili.
