description: 'The drakauthix is a massive fungus that floats through the heights of
|
||
the largest Darklands caverns, propelled by bladders that spray air and spores.
|
||
A voracious but slow-moving hunter, the drakauthix prefers to ambush meaty creatures
|
||
from above, using its hooked appendages to pull its victims upward to feed. The
|
||
drakauthix''s digestive process is entirely external—it clings to victims, and its
|
||
spore-laden surface slowly feeds on and grows through the flesh before the spore-infested
|
||
carcass is discarded. As the infested body strikes the ground below, it bursts and
|
||
releases a cloud of spores, unleashing a host of young called sporelings that immediately
|
||
scuttle up the cavern walls to cling to its ceiling and grow.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The drakauthix behaves no more intelligently than most predatory animals, and often
|
||
uses a sort of symbiotic scavenger method to secure prey by capitalizing on the
|
||
hunting methods of oozes and vermin found in the large cave systems it frequents.
|
||
When a relatively mindless creature kills a victim, the drakauthix drifts down,
|
||
hooks the freshly slain carcass with its tendrils, and reels in its meal. The mindless
|
||
ooze or other creature that just had its food stolen rarely holds a grudge and simply
|
||
slithers off to find a new quarry, letting the drakauthix digest the corpse in peace.
|
||
Of course, the drakauthix isn''t above feasting on more active prey as well, and
|
||
might attack an adventurer who neglects to look upward for danger when exploring
|
||
a network of mysterious caves.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Some Darklands-dwelling creatures, such as duergars, hunt drakauthixes for their
|
||
flesh, which has a unique flavor with a peppery aftertaste. Subterranean races also
|
||
make ink from drakauthixes by burning their carcasses, then grinding and pressing
|
||
the ashes for a long time until a silvery substance congeals.
