Parasite
Overtake and Control Players!
• Alignment: Impostor Killing
The Parasite can overtake a nearby player and temporarily control their movement before killing them.
If enabled, when overtaken, the victim will look like the Parasite (to themselves) and cannot use their own abilities. The Parasite can control the player with a picture-in-picture camera and can kill the victim at any time, or wait for the control timer to kill them.
Strategy Guide
If the settings mean you cannot when overtaking a player, position yourself on a task to avoid looking suspicious.
Controls
- The Parasite moves with WASD keys and controls the victim using arrow keys.
- If "Parasite Can Move Independently" is disabled, the Parasite cannot move and controls the victim with WASD instead.
- When controlling a player, press Overtake again to kill them before the timer ends.
