Hi, I’m Cymothoa Exigua.
I go into the mouths of fish, and feed off the blood of its tongue. Eventually, it atrophies and falls off, and that’s where I step in! Once the tongue is gone, I root myself into the muscle structure, and act as the fish’s tongue for the rest of our life.
Fear me.
Holy crap. (I almost made a fish joke there but I restrained myself.)
