Power/Ability to:	Use the traits of a transcendent parasite.

The power to use the abilities of transcendent parasites. Variation of Transcendent Symbiote Physiology. Ultimate version of Parasite Physiology.

Also Called

• Parasite Deity/God Physiology
• Transcendent Parasitism

Capabilities

User with this ability either is or can transform into a transcendent parasite that has the ability to feed off a host and get stronger while the host gets weaker, not only gaining energy and sustenance from the host but also absorb characteristics and traits. They are not limited to organic or biological life but can feed off of inorganic and non-biological things. Transcendent parasite can go beyond the nature of its kind and develop a mutualism with its host where both benefit in some way.

Applications

• Astral Parasite: Feed on psychic energy and often require physical hosts to infiltrate the world beyond the astral plane.
• Conversion Parasite: Turn others into another type of being through the use of a parasite, such as a macro-parasite or fungus.
• Parasite: Can mimic/transform into parasite.
• Parasite Creation: Create a parasites with many capabilities that have deadly effects to their targets and can even benefit the users and allies.
• Parasite Empowerment: Powers are derived from being infested with parasites.
• Parasite Manipulation: Manipulate all forms of parasites. This can be used to affect parasites within their hosts, and make them absorb more energy from the host, as well as cause pain in the host in question, as well as even killing the host.
• Parasite Immunity: Completely immune to parasite infection. For example, the user can ingest a parasite infested food or swim in parasite infested waters with no consequence.
• Universal Parasitism: Drain the bio-kinetic energies held within entire universes and leave them to wither and fall apart upon departure.
  • Physical Warping

Applications (Techniques)

• Evolution: Enhance themselves and others via accelerating the evolution process by triggering a bodily recovery system, restructuring their genome and upgrading to a better physical form.
• Meta Regeneration: Heal from absolutely anything, even if there is literally nothing remaining of the user. One will be as frail and vulnerable as before, but every injury shall cease; critical injuries will be healed in a matter of seconds if not instantly. Complete Destruction and Complete Erasure results in complete restoration. Even wounds that are irreversible in nature will heal just like normal wounds.
• Meta-Possession: Possess or take over anything, including the living, the dead, objects, animals, plants, locations, powers, attacks, energy, and abstract/conceptual forces etc., and bypass/ignore Possession Immunity.
• Ontopathogenesis: Able to infect the very nature of the subject's existence. The prefix "onto" has to do with the nature of being or existing, pathogenic has to do with being infectious, and so Ontopathogenic has to do with infecting the very existence of a thing. Unlike common diseases or pathogens that only infect on a biological level, Ontopathogen causes infection on a metaphysical level. Just like pathogens, they can spread to other existences.
• Shapeshifting: Change their shape, size, color, density, texture, cellular composition, and/or atomic composition to mimic qualities, impersonate entities, amplify abilities, and/or traverse environments. Even be powerful enough to be omnifarious having complete and absolute control over their own being, allowing them to manipulate their shape, density, size or to be solid, liquid, gaseous, or pure energy.

Lavos (Chrono Trigger) is a planetary parasite that directly influenced all technology and life on the planet, evolving the planet's life forms to cultivate it and make itself stronger, before emerging from the planet's core and destroying it.

By draining power from his victims and ultimately possessing Vegeta, Baby (Dragon Ball GT) gained incredible power, enough to overpower Super Saiyan 4 Goku and destroy entire planets with ease.

The Protomolecule (The Expanse) infected Julie Mao killing her physical body...

... but her consciousness lived on within it and she now has a form of transcendence and acts as the parasites brain thus creating a symbiotic nature between the two.

The Protomolecule (The Expanse) attempting to mimic human form...

... infecting and reshaping Venus.

All-Black (Marvel Comics) is the first Symbiote ever created, and as such, wields enough power to kill beings as powerful as the Celestials...

...and make Gorr, a mere mortal, powerful enough to compete with gods like Thor.

Mother (Marvel Comics) is an inter-dimensional parasite who feeds on powerful beings and realities found throughout the Multiverse.

Purity (The X-Files) was a parasite so powerful that it is believed it managed to infect almost all life in the Galaxy, with humans and the Faceless Aliens being the few able to resist it.
