"Thank you. There's nothing I can give you but my blessing. And this advice: learn when to blink."[1]
Gallblighter Wasps are red, insectoid creatures that can grow to the size of a cat.[2] Like many species of wasp, their swarms produce an unnerving drone,[3] and can be found in secluded, dusty places.[4] They violently attack, or even kill, anyone who disturbs their nests, also like many species of wasp.[5]
Gallblighters are most infamous, however, for their tendency to lay their eggs in human eyes. They often sting nearby bystanders with their ovipositors when they're disturbed,[6] and they may also infest those who sleep too close to their nests.[4] The young Gallblighters then gestate in the eyeballs of their victim, turning them reddish-yellow and disturbingly swollen.[7] During the gestation process, the host's eyesight is also entirely transformed: they may see visions of past memories,[8] fantastical surroundings,[9] or even hidden secrets, depending on where they look. Once their time is up, however, the newly-hatched gallblighters burst free, killing their host in the process.[10]
