Trill symbiont

Trill Symbionts are small animals which can live either within Trill humanoid hosts or Symbiont pools on Trill.

A host of a trill symbiont gains access to the memories of the symbiont and therefore those of all the previous hosts.

The existence of the symbionts was for centuries a closely guarded secret and well into the 24th century the relationships between Trill humanoids and symbionts was a source of much political and social upheaval on the planet Trill and beyond.

The parasites are genetically modified offshoots of the symbionts.
