Violet Fungus

Creature 3 — fungus, mindless

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

At a glance, a violet fungus might seem to be little more than an unsightly and sickeningly purple mushroom of unusual size. Only once one draws closer-once whip-like tentacles dripping with flesh-rotting venom slither out from the fungus's cratered cap-does the terrifying truth of this carnivorous toadstool become apparent. Many amateur spelunkers have met untimely ends in the clutches of this monstrous fungus's tentacles, since violet fungi are practically synonymous with caverns on Golarion.
