DycepskianSource Starfinder #28: The Hollow Cabal pg. 55
Dycepskians are a mysterious species of fungus that only gain sentience when they infest sapient hosts, completely overwriting their unfortunate victim’s mind. However, the dycepskian-infested host retains the original creature’s memories and skills, making it difficult to notice the change.
An infested host can be recognized by yellowish-green veins visible around the eyes, though most dycepskians take great pains to hide such signs.Aliens in the "Dycepskian" FamilySource Starfinder #28: The Hollow Cabal pg. 55Reptoid Host CR 6XP 2,400
