Paras

Biology
Paras is a host bug with two small mushrooms on its back. It gains the mushrooms shortly after being born. The mushrooms attempt to control the body but Paras resists and defuses them. Although that is the deal for it in its whole life, as long as the Pokémon feeds, the mushrooms grow bigger and stronger as well. It eventually reaches such a point that mushrooms take over the control and control Paras entirely. Once that happens, mushrooms force Paras to evolve. Upon evolving, the bug has no longer control of the brain.

A direct contact with it may be very dangerous. The chances of getting a status problem are very high.

Behaviour
Paras feeds 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 that 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 does not evolve until mushrooms grow enough to control the body, because in the evolved form, the bug has no mind control.

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