Thinker Parasite

Disclaimer: Models material was intended for use in EEVEE. If you wish to render in cycles, simply plug the principled BSDF shader into the material output. Though it should be noted that you will lose the purple hue in the translucent part as the color is a part of the cell shading. This creature is intended to act as a body snatching parasite. It is essentially a walking nervous system that is looking for a host, the brain visible in the main torso behind the opaque red tentacles around the base of its "neck". The vast majority of the armature consists of tentacle rigs, the only thing that differs is the main body. The blinking of this creature is a bit different, as instead of scaling like the other models, you slide the bone in the Y-axis to activate the bone shapes. The main stretch controls for the rig (the ring with arrows) can be scaled to control the easing of the bone. There are also smaller fine controls if you are unable to get the curve of the tentacles right.
