Enchantment - Aura, 2BB (4) Enchant creature At the beginning of the upkeep of enchanted creature's controller, put a -0/-1 counter on that creature. When enchanted creature is put into a graveyard, that creature's controller chooses a creature that Takklemaggot could enchant. If he or she does, return Takklemaggot to play under your control attached to that creature. If he or she doesn't, return Takklemaggot to play under your control as a non-Aura enchantment. It loses "enchant creature" and gains "At the beginning of that player's upkeep, Takklemaggot deals 1 damage to him or her."1

The controller of the creature which is destroyed gets to place Takklemaggot on a creature of their choice (controlled by any player, not just one of their own creatures). If there are no creatures to put it on, then Takklemaggot becomes a simple enchantment. [D'Angelo 1994/08/01]
If the creature leaves play without going to the graveyard (via Unsummon or something like that), Takklemaggot is simply destroyed. [bethmo 1994/08/23]
Takklemaggot is controlled initially by the player that played it, but each time it goes to the graveyard it returns and is controlled by the player whose creature it was on when it went to the graveyard. [DeLaney 2000/05/01]
You choose the new creature and put it on that creature all during the resolution of the triggered ability that has you put it back into play. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
