Reaper Skull Puffball
Creature 9 (uncommon) — fungus, mindless
Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
Many benign puffball fungi cling to the detritus of forest floors in Darklands caverns. These fungi's giant versions are more mobile and dangerous. When this fungus detects prey, its tendrils writhe and exude a paralytic toxin.
