"Wohnparasit" is a habitation unit that runs autonomous after installment. It feeds on the water, heating, telephone and electricity from the host-building it gets fixed to. Uninstallation will cause sincerely damage. Its shape conceals it as a non working lamp on any exterior wall. It dissipates energy and occupies space like any other resident.
