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.
