Summary: It's amazing that these things aren't some mistake man or nature made. Someone actually went out of his way to create these sinister body snatchers.
History: Dr. Emil Hobbes, Montreal biologist and misanthrope supreme, believes that without emotions, man will be more inclined to mate and deliver itself to the desires of the flesh. So he's created a string of parasites that infect anyone with a desire to breed. But plenty are going to get hurt because of this, as the parasites also make their hosts go a bit primal.

Final Fate: Eventually everyone in Hobbes' apartment is infected, and they get out of there, setting his ultimate plan in motion...
