Yeah so you guys mean less Parasite and more creature spawning from dead or living creatures. (which means this thread isn't about the vast majority of parasites)

No, we mean the dwarf fortress kind of parasite, that multiplies in the host to a point where it dies and bursts full of aliens.

[Squanto]

Actually, this function could probably be expanded to pregnancies/kangaroo pouch-type things.  The effects wouldn't necesarily be harmful, and the creature inside could get injured by outside forces(so punching someone's arm filled with parasites could injure the parasites).  Then, you could have your creature's (or another creature's) things inside parts of your body, and have to be careful or uncareful when desired.  "Parasite activites" (that could work simmilar to syndromes, mybe with more effects though) could be used for any effects like eating the brain, or simply nausea or tiredness.

...That goblins thread REALLY got off track, didn't it?

But yeah, I'd like parasites. Especially FBs carrying them. Imagine: You are attacked by your average, six-legged, furry, winged frog with external ribs and a stinger. It stings a few of your dwarves and domestic animals, as well as some cavern beasts, but won't further attack those it stings. This makes it easy to kill with your militia. However, a month later:
Urist McDwarf cancels Task: Transforming.
The stung dwarves, one by one, begin to warp. They sprout two extra limbs, their beards grow to cover their bodies, stingers spring out of their trousers, and they begin to grow. Soldiers are suffocated in their confining metal breastplates, leaving warped corpses,  or burst their chainmail, leather armor, and clothes, turning them to useless piles of metal and leather and cloth. The new plague of forgotten beast spawn propagates their kind like their parent did, and swiftly transforms almost the entire populace into more forgotten beast spawn. The few survivors, walled into a farm plot and trying desperately not to accidentally release the monsters into their haven, know that they are the last hope of their fortress.
They set the clowns against the spawn, and watch as their fortress becomes a battleground between two of the deadliest forces of the underground. The single dwarf remaining after the fight, a child, watches from outside as an incoming caravan's guards finish of the last of the battlers, though it costs them dearly. The child, ignorant of the fact that she must now survive on her own in a deadly world, looks at the bloodstained depot and realizes that she has enough food now to last a lifetime. While no migrants join the fortress for years due to the danger and the well-timed sieges, the one remaining dwarf enjoys her life as the only dwarf in a once-prosperous fortress. She has the mayor's old room and the massive, gold-plated dining room to herself. Eventually, shortly after she reaches adulthood, a diplomat arrives and makes the fortress a barony. They accept and raise the only survivor of the greatest battle the world has ever known to the seat.

Awesome.

I'd consider this vaguely erotic

What the child doesn't realise is that caravan would spread the plague to the world >_>

But she gets her barony then the world gets infected. Next thing she knows, she's the sole survivor in the world, but she knows what she must do.

If this gets implemented, statues like this;

would have a different meaning altogether.

That would skyrocket the value of dwarven cheese/milk, causing catastrophies in the regular flow of the Dwarven Dairy Co.
Then again, catsplosions would be so cat-astrophic anymore.

(Urist has been ecstatic lately. His cat saved the fort from purring maggots recently. His pet cat died heroicly.)

[Loud Whispers]

Not only would Dwarf Dairy Co. Shares skyrocket, so would, Dwarf Dairy weapons ^~^

1) Purring maggots. Check.
2) Bridge. Check.
3) Goblins *looks up* Check.

LEVER!
