When it appeared in a ritual that Mara was about to become it's new host, she instead transformed it into a weapon called [[Parasite]], much to it's shock and dismay. The Awoken Queen clarified that it's new form will allow it to continue living but it's new "host" is now effectively a prison. [[The Guardian]] would use the weapon Savathûn's Worm had become to fight off the [[Scorn]] as Mara Sov finished the ritual.
