An aggressive, mobile fungus native to the Underdark. It adapts itself on contact with almost any vertebrate creature, creating a symbiotic exoskeleton, appearing as a soft, gray, spongy mass of about a foot in diameter. The host becomes immune to poisons and mental attacks, hardening them against fire and assisting with healing processes.
