Parasite is a tier 1 Hive unit in Heroes Olden Era. Attack type: Range (1 hex); movement: Walks. HP: 7; damage per unit: 2–4. The unit has 4 abilities and passive effects.

Parasites are an easy — but nonetheless horrendous — way to create the Hive’s foot soldiers. Attaching themseves to unfortunate passersby, they gain a sturdy, disposable host. Although the host does not possess exceptional agility, it still allows the parasites to be effective in melee, while their own bodies are predisposed to engage the enemy at short distance.
