A Yeerk by itself is not very dangerous. Unfortunatly, they are parasites, take over kinds of creatures.
The Yeerk flattens itself and crawls through the ear canal to the brain where it hooks itself up to the brain directly. This is the only way they can have any senses. They must feed on what are known as "Kandrona Rays" every three days or they die.
The Yeerks are given a number depending on their spawning. Twins are given a double digit at the end with the first retaining a single digit.
At a certain point, Yeerks gain the rank of Sub-Visser, or a Leutenant to us. At around rank 10, they become Vissers gaining the designation Visser blank (numbered by rank. Visser One is the most powerful.) A Visser might be called upon to sit on the Council of 13. This is the highest position a Yeerk can hold.
