The “virosphere” is full of surprises.
One of those is a bacteriophage named MINIFLAYER, whose tendrils leave “bite marks” in another bacteriophage named MINDFLAYER.
MiniFlayer latches into MindFlayer because the former has no mechanism to reproduce, so it utilizes the latter’s ability.

Scientists have discovered what may be the first ‘vampire’ virus
Scientists discovered a strange virus called MiniFlayer that latches onto a larger virus called MindFlayer in soil collected in Maryland.

“MiniFlayer takes advantage of another virus, dubbed MindFlayer, by grabbing onto its neck, and when they enter cells together, MiniFlayer utilizes its companion’s genetic machinery to proliferate.”
