Creature:Slen

The Slen are native Mirusian hive race with a semi-parasitic lifestyle that requires them to be implanted into another being as an egg and then hatch and eat the host from the inside out. However, they do not eat the flesh, instead reweaving it into a biological suit that the larvae controls and eventually integrates into. Slen themselves are actually herbivores and are surprisingly docile as long as they under the control of Queen, their savage reputation coming from lone drones.
