Paras

Biology
Paras are the host bug which contains two small mushrooms on their back upon being born. Those mushrooms attempt to control the body, but Paras occasionally do not let that happen. The mushrooms, however, draw all the nutrients and begin to grow bigger. Eventually, the mushrooms take over the control and Paras have almost no power to recover. Eventually, the mushrooms force Paras to evolve. A contact with these Pokémon can be so dangerous that the chances of getting a status problem are very high.

Behaviour
Paras feed on the tree roots. Therefore, with the metabolism Paras improved in centuries, they can live underground without air for days. Because of the mushrooms they have which attempt to work as a brain, Paras can be found in damp places more often to serve the needs of the mushrooms, although it is harmful for the bug part of it. Paras do not evolve until mushrooms grow enough to control the body, because in the evolution form of Paras, the bug has no mind control.

Habitat
Paras have been found or encountered as a wild Pokémon in Viridian Forest in Kanto.
