Parumph the Tummy Tick

Because Parumph is often too slow to catch prey, he uses his ability to ensnare prey in the thrall of his marching music and thumping belly drum beat, bringing them deeper under his control the longer they listen and become enraptured by his marching rhythm. A slap of his taut round belly resounds like a timpani drum, creating a hypnotic thump that commands the attention to all who hear it and send buzzy pleasurable vibrations through their body. Prolonged listening will make it harder for prey to resist marching along to the beat, wanting to stay close by to feel the vibrations wash over them. Marching along is a sign that a prey has become fully entranced, following the big bug like a Pied Piper as he marches through the streets.

Parumph can hypnotize entire crowds at once, but during this process he is secretly interested in finding individuals who have potential to be a “Tummy Tick”. Whenever he meets a human he will be on the look for signs of interest, such as staring at his belly or having a bulge in their pants. He will then dismiss any other hypnotized humans and single out the prey, deepening their hypnosis with his belly drum and silly rhyming songs, then march them to a secluded location.

The chosen prey is doomed to never escape the hungry tick's control. Parumph loves to run his hypnotized prey through band drills, forcing them to marching for his amusement while teasing them about how they are powerless to resist his big beautiful tummy. A snout will tootle a jaunty marching tune, deepening the spell and adding pep to the step of his prey. This serves to whet Parumph’s appetite, loving to see his prey become more and more enamored with his plump shiny belly as they obediently follow his commands.

Once the prey is too weak to resist, his song changes to command the prey to march directly into his balloon belly for “Feeding Time”. Using his stubby arms to hold the prey against his belly, the tick's long trumpet snout to extend out and latch onto their head to drain the prey’s energy. Puffily sucking, slurping, and vaccuuming up their life force in a silly noisy feast, making the prey weak and woozy in the process.

This is Parumph's favorite part - getting to feed on a hypnotized meal who is under his musical spell. Using two puffy arms to hug them against his belly, butt firmly pressed into his tum-drum, their head bobbing to the beat. The sight gets the big bug all worked up too, as evidenced by the increasing tempo of the beat as his sucker-snout gobbles up globs of energy. The feeding makes Parumph plump even bigger, making the drumming louder and stronger causing the pleasure to rise even further in his prey in a building symphony of happy sounds.

It is at this time the cadet is fully indoctrinated and ready to join the band by being inflated into an inflatable latex tick costume. As he is feeding, Parumph’s puffy naval presses against the prey’s lap and inflates a big balloon egg around their waist, forming a pair of big puffy latex briefs. The balloon briefs heighten the effects of the belly-drum by creating powerful pleasurable vibrations that buzz against their bodies. As time passes the tick-egg diaper around their waist expands, feeding on their energy and inflating outward until the cadet is left waddling and helpless in an inflated latex tick costume with only his face showing under the costume’s head. The prey's squirming, humping, stomping, and impassioned movements help to inflate their own tick-suit, pressure rising as they swell into a taut shiny tick balloon. Once the costume inflates big enough it will seal completely over the prey, keeping them trapped in its rhythm forever more and completing the transformation into a member of Parumph’s Marching Band.

Parumph’s power grows with each new band member inflated in this way. Each tick slave helps amplify Parumph’s music of their master, making his hypnotic songs more powerful and allowing him to capture more humans and find more prey to add to his marching band. Teasing that this is the first of what is sure to be many conversions, and the start of Parumph's parade of happy swollen bug balloons, all waddling in perfect lock-step to his beat.

"Oh, Red Ranger, you'll soon see, Your friends will join my band with glee!"

Parumph's tummy wobbled as he moved closer, his hypnotic beat resonating in the air. The sway of his shiny, red belly was mesmerizing, drawing Red's eyes despite his best efforts to resist. Each rhythmic thump sent waves of pleasure through Red, making him more pliable to the tick monster's commands.

"They'll come along, and when they do, They'll dance to my tune, just like you! One by one, they'll fall in line, Soon this band will be divine."

The monster's voice was playful and hypnotic, coaxing Red further into submission as he started to sway in place. Parumph watched his prey with delight, knowing that his growing band would soon have more members.
