The process occurs when a cockvine seedling has gone beyond the stage where it can successfully root itself, or otherwise senses it is better off attempting to graft itself to a more successful life-form. Cockvines acting in this way usually seek out alphas of their species to bind themselves to, however they are perfectly capable of achieving union with any creature both large enough to support them and either willing to do so or too slow to prevent it. In either case the grafted cockvine couples with the host’s nervous system and surrenders most of its own control to the host, with the larger creature able to feel and use the parasite as their own appendage. The cockvine does however retain its semen sacs and instinct to breed, and is occasionally able to overwhelm its host with a desire to use it, allowing it the opportunity to propagate its seed over a far wider range than it otherwise could. Cockvine parasitism has also been reported as a consequence of mating with an adult specimen.
