"Once more, the Harpies come to tease and taunt us! "
Nero Blackstone when a Parasite round starts

Parasites (known in Apothicon as Nethoth, lit. Harms Change) are enemies in Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Call of Duty Online and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. In Black Ops III, Parasites appear on the Zombies maps Shadows of Evil, Dead Ops Arcade 2: Cyber's Avengening, Revelations, and throughout the Nightmares campaign. In Call of Duty Online, they appear on the map Zombie Island. In Black Ops 6, the Parasite appear on the Zombies maps Terminus. Parasites are flying creatures that attack the player in various numbers. They attack by shooting a liquid at the player which covers the screen, impairing vision slightly, and dealing damage.

Overview[]

Call of Duty: Black Ops III[]

In Shadows of Evil, Parasites are yellow-colored, shooting yellow liquid as their attack. Much like Hellhounds, Parasites appear during their own special round and the last one killed drops a Max Ammo. They also appear after a Margwa's head has been taken down. They can also appear occasionally in later rounds, in the "Capture The Flag" objective in the Easter Egg, and even spawn from a harvest pod. The Parasites also show up in the Pack-a-Punch wall-run on the side of the Apothicons during the Great War. They also appear in Revelations, behaving the same as their counterparts from Shadows of Evil, however they are are red and they shoot red liquid instead of yellow.

In Dead Ops Arcade 2: Cyber's Avengening, they act as in Shadows of Evil, but only appear after one of the Margwa's heads are destroyed.

In Nightmares mode, they are purple instead of yellow. They are described by the Player as "mutated creatures born from 61-15".

Call of Duty Online[]

In Call of Duty Online, they appear in the Super Zombie Warfare map Zombie Island and act identical to their Black Ops III counterparts.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6[]

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the Parasites return on the Zombies map Terminus, now functioning as an evolution type enemy. Players can encounter Parasites if they leave a Vermin alive for long enough to transform into a Parasite.
