Cool, but I swear that's nothing compared to some sick fucks living deeeeeeeeeply down down in the ocean we haven't heard of so far.
Check this out"Cymothoa exigua, a crustacean, is the only known parasite that effectively replaces a body organ. It makes its home in the mouth of a fish, where it drains blood from the tongue until it withers and dies. It attaches itself to the remaining stub and the fish is actually able to utilize it as a replacement tongue to draw in and manipulate food, which the parasite shares."
