Message: <blockquote data-quote="Darraketh" data-source="post: 390552" data-attributes="member: 847">The spore breath could create zombies like the Yellow Musk Zombie from the FF, which was the result of an attack by a Yellow Musk Creeper.Perhaps this is a humanoid creature that has a symbiotic relationship with one or more deadly plants that live on and or in its body. And the breath weapon is a benefit of this relationship.To refine my earlier suggestion, the creature has a sphere of influence in which a deadly poisonous group of mushrooms instantly or quite rapidly sprout then wither and die as the aurora fades. But it is not just mushrooms, its thorny briars, strangle weeds, giant man-eating flytraps and any other deadly plant there is all spontaneously sprouting, growing to their full size then withering and dying as though you were watching time-lapsed photography. All of this happens with little thought from the creature until it is threatened at which time it will assess the situation and bring forth whichever deadly plant it thinks will provide it the most advantageous defense.Now if you defeat the strangleweed and hack through the briars and mange to avoid the exploding puffballs or the slippery footing provided by the slimy algae you must still avoid the breath of spores while trying to bring down an extremely tough creature. It's like trying to chop down a tree that can muster up a breath weapon several times in the process. It can't run and it's too weak and doesn't have the dexterity to grapple you. It moves very slow but all the while you are hacking at it, it is still summoning thorny ambulatory vines, giant puffballs, shrieking fungus and whatever else it can in a mad attempt to defend itself.Just a few thoughts.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
