'''Parasite''' is a [[Witch Doctor]] Tier Seven 7 [[Witch Doctor skills|skill]]unlocked at [[clvl|character level]] 26. The skill has never yet been seen in use, but the description promises to send a damaging, [[Haunt]]-like parasite into your enemies, which will generate a [[Mongrel]] if the enemy dies while under the effect of the parasite.

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.
It's not known how this one will interact with Mongrels; since a Witch Doctor can only have X number of Mongrels at once, will additional Mongrels spawned by this skill count against that cap? Would the oldest existing Mongrel expire, or explode in a Sacrifice when a new one appeared via Parasite?

''Parasite'' was first seen listed as a skill in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo. It was still there in Blizzcon [[BlizzCon 2010]], but it's never been seen in use.
