All together now: GAAAAACK!

The suggestion of critters replacing certain organs, however, with no ill effect on the host except in the sense that suddenly they’ve got some other organism with big gross feet or something acting as a vital organ, is an intriguing sci-fi possibility. And replacing your tongue with a giant horrible crawly thing has all sorts of interesting aspects to explore.* Akin had enough trouble with his tentatongue, and that thing didn’t even have a face.

Once again, nature is a step ahead of sci-fi.


*And some entertaining aspects, too: “Now let’s see why you’re having trouble talking. Open your mouth and say ‘ahhh.’”
“Ahh.”
“YEEEEEEEK!”
“Ih ihh bahd, dokhuh?”

On the plus side, it would make for some great practical jokes on your dentist. Or small rude children who stick their tongues out at you ... Oh, the opportunities are endless.
