Fictional backstory:
in old days, there was only ancestors of Necrophages. They (necroids) was widely used as pets and helpers by necromancers. Their main purpose was disposing corrupted test subjects like melted zombies or rotten gutmans. Continuously feeding necroids with that kind of “food”, caused some changes in time and Necroids started to mutate and metamorphosis in many chaotic ways...
No one knows how and when this situation too place. Necroids become one of the main research subjects for some necromancers. But we know nowadays, if you see a necromancer that releases a, "worm like thing", you should run away as far as possible because that "worm thing" will come after you to the enter your body and eat you from inside. But its not the end. Even if you die, its continues to eat your corpse and also merges with you until fully transforming you into a necrophage.
