Lyrkan Wasps from Tabico's story Adaptation, found at https://mcstories.com/Adaptation/index.html

You've stumbled on a hive of parasitic, mind-controlling insectoids. Squick warning.

Hive Queen

The Queen, aka broodmother, lays all the eggs in a hive. It is a wasp-like monster. It is sentient but incapable of speech, using pheromones to communicate instead. It is roughly the size of a German Shepherd. It has a paralytic sting that allows it to lay an egg on the head of a paralyzed animal or human. It is capable of building hive structures and cocooning prey. Eggs differ in their adult forms based on where they are laid. Eggs laid in the hive become workers, aka drones. Eggs oviposited in the reproductive tract of a female mammal become protectors, aka defenders, if there is more than one egg. If a single egg is oviposited in a female mammal's reproductive tract, it matures into another queen. Eggs laid on the head of an animal or human hatch into the skull and take over the brain of the animal. The queen is capable of commanding any wasp in the hive and any host animal that has had its brain controlled.

Infestation Wasp

This form of the wasp infests the brain of its victim, turning it into a slave to the hive. If a queen lays an egg onto the head of an animal or human, it will stick and be hard to remove. An unrestrained human will have little difficulty removing it, so they would either have to deliberately leave it or be restrained, such as in a cocoon, for it to mature. After several days, the egg will hatch into the skull of the animal or human, and begin taking over the brain of the host. It does this by inflicting pain at thoughts of defiance and pleasure at thoughts of obedience. The stronger a person's willpower, the longer it takes. After being subdued, the host will serve the hive, allowing worker larvae to suck their blood or milk, and in the case of females, allow the queen to use them to incubate eggs it oviposits in their wombs.

Protector Wasp

Protectors, aka defenders, are the result of multiple eggs being oviposited in the reproductive tract of a female mammal host. It is a wasp-like monster. After hatching, the larvae will feed off the host until they grow to maturity. They metamorphize into protectors within the reproductive tract, and they crawl out the . They are smaller than the queen and larger than a drone., roughly the size of a beagle. They have a powerful paralytic sting and will attack anything that threatens the hive. Once they paralyze the threat they will cocoon it and if possible bring it back to the hive to have the queen infest it.

Worker Wasp

A worker, aka drone, is hatched from an egg laid by the queen in the hive. It is a wasp-like monster. After hatching, the larva will be placed on a host and either suck its blood, or if possible, its milk. Once the larva reaches its full size, it will mature into a worker drone. The worker is smaller than the queen and has a weaker sting. It will spend its time growing the hive, caring for eggs and larvae, foraging for food, and producing honey to be stored in the hive. Omnivorous, it can eat anything. It is roughly the size of a large cat.

Human Female Host

If a human woman has a wasp egg hatch into her skull, she will be subdued by the infection form and become an eager slave to the hive. She will allow the worker larvae to suck her blood, and her breasts will begin lactating, letting the larvae suck her milk, as well. She will also allow the queen wasp monster to oviposit eggs into her reproductive tract, where they will mature and she will give birth to fully formed wasp monsters, either protectors if multiple eggs were implanted, or a queen monster if only one egg was implanted. She will defend the hive with her life, and try to capture or kill anyone who is a threat to it, ideally helping the queen infest them to make more hosts. A side effect of the infestation form using pleasure to control them is constant arousal. Hosts prefer to engage in frequent and masturbation.

Human Male Host

A human male who has had an egg laid on his head that hatched into his skull. The infection form of the wasp will take over the brain of its host and turn him into a slave of the hive. It does this by inflicting pain at thoughts of defiance and pleasure at thoughts of obedience. The stronger the willpower of the host, the longer it takes to enslave him. Hosts will protect and serve the hive, allowing the larval form of workers to attach and suck their blood. They will defend the hive with their lives, trying to capture or kill any threat to it. Ideally they will subdue and bring people to the hive for the queen to infest. As a result of the infection form using pleasure to impel obedience, hosts are always horny, engaging in frequent and masturbation.
