The Long One
Background
The Long One is an intergalactic traveler that travels from inhabited planet to inhabited planet feeding on its inhabitants. Once it infects something, that thing becomes part of its conscious.
During the events of Slither (2006)
What appears to be a rock falls from space. The object from space then crashes into the woods of Wheelsy. Grant Grant and Brenda Gutierrez go into the woods and see the space object which is cracked open and find the The Long One. As The Long One pokes at it, a barbed appendage suddenly shoots out and embeds itself in Grant's chest and travels to his brain, taking over Grant. The Long One then walks away and drives home and eats meat. In the morning, Starla apologizes to The Long One, who starts crying and they have sex. The Long One goes to the grocery store and buys 14 rib eyes from the Butcher and lots of other meat. Starla notices The Long One has added a lock to the basement and he tells her it is because of a birthday surprise for her. The Long One's body starts to change and he grows two spiky appendages. As he is about to attack Starla, he stops and tells Starla that he has to go to work. The Long One goes to Brenda's house and she lets him inside.
Brenda takes her shirt off and The Long One does too. He then attacks Brenda with his spiky appendages and impregnates her. Starla goes home and finds The Long One has physically changed and he tells her that he got stung by a bee and he already saw Dr. Karl. The Long One brings meat to a chained up Brenda. The Long One sees Starla calling Bill Pardy the window and goes into the house and attacks her and attempts to infect her. Bill, Wally, Trevor and Margaret walk into the house and The Long One runs away. Three days later, The Long One goes to the Strutemyer property and kills a cow. Starla walks up to him and talks to him. Charlie points his gun at The Long One and demands he show them where Brenda is and The Long One uses a tentacle to cut him in half. Bill and the others start shooting at The Long One and he slithers away. They follow him and he leads them into a trap to be killed by Brenda's worms. After being infected, Wally and the others start talking to Starla as if they are The Long One. Wally zombie threatens Starla and she shoots its head off.
Jack MacReady opens the basement door and is impregnated by The Long One. Starla wakes up on her bed and goes downstairs and sees a giant The Long One mass. Bill and Kylie watch as Dude Joining The Long One becomes one with the The Long One mass. Diseased The Long One 1, Diseased The Long One 2, Diseased The Long One 3, and Diseased Leader accuse Starla of being unfaithful and wanting to kill The Long One. Starla apologizes and tells him that he doesn't have to be alone. She walks up to him and stabs him with a hair brush she had hidden. The Long One then knocks her away. Bill and Kylie Strutemyer reach The Long One and Starla and Bill tries to throw the grenade, but it is knocked out of his hand by The Long One. He finds it again, but is knocked out of the house and it harmlessly explodes in the pool. The Long One throws a couch at Kylie and knocks her to the wall. He extends his pincers and starts to impregnate Bill with one of them, but Bill manages to stick the other one into a propane tank and turns it on. Bill tells Starla to shoot The Long One and she does and he explodes.
