Coleanthropus is a type of abnormal with features similar to a cross between a reptile and an insect that can infest humans.

History

Episode 2x04 - "Hero": Coleanthropus begin life as large eggs buried beneath the ground in sealed chambers. When exposed to air, the egg hatches into a larvae, which implants itself in a host, taking it over and giving it a hunger for meat. Eventually, it tears its way out of its host and develops into its next stage, turning into a large creature with a wasp-like head and exoskeleton and a lizard-like body. Following this, it creates a cocoon and develops into its next stage, growing still larger in size. The coleanthropus is also known for its high-pitched shriek. Gregory Magnus encountered a coleanthropus egg, but was unable to stop it before it had hatched and escaped. His daughter also encountered one of these creatures over a century later in Old City.
