'''Parasite''' is a tier V [[skill]] in the [[Zombie Skill Tree]], which sends a parasite into a targeted enemy, dealing periodic damage and summoning a [[Summon Zombie Dog|Zombie Dog]] if the target dies from the damage.

The Witch Doctor sends forth a parasite to inhabit the body of his enemies, causing excruciating pain over long durations and becoming a minion of the witch doctor once the target is drained of life.
==Skill Design==
It is unknown for how long this DoT lasts, but it may be the only way for a witch doctor to kill enemies by himself who specialize in this tree. This skill had the words "Not Yet Implemented" written, so the low damages seen below will probably increase. This skill also saves the Witch Doctor some health, since summoning [[Summon Zombie Dog|Zombie Dogs]] costs health.
