[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 2686709, member: 1241"] no success on that front, but i finished another part of it: 4. Underdark Plant Creatures These fungi, molds, and other plant creatures are all found in subterranean realms, waiting to devour anything venturing into the depths. James Jacobs had joked to me that if the ascomoid and zygom were converted, all of "Zuggtmoy's children" would now be represented in 3E. Carapace (CR 1/4) This aggressive, symbiotic fungus infests vertebrate creatures, and hardening their skin to make a sort of exoskeletal shell. The creature eventually takes over its host's mind, by replacing spinal and brain tissue with its own fungal matter. Originally found in Dragon #227/Monstrous Compendium Annual 4. Kampfult (CR 1) This gray-green tree-like creature consists of twisting, sinuous cords, forming a trunk-shape and 6 attacking tendrils. This sinewy mugger kills by constriction. Originally found in Monster Manual II. Ascomoid (CR 4) This enormous, spherical puffball fungus attacks by rolling over its enemies. It can also release a deadly spore cloud. Originally found in Monster Manual II. Noran (CR 6) This creature looks like a sickly, petrified treant with long prehensile, whiplike branches that can manipulate small objects and attack. The noran can also spit rocks from its mouth with deadly velocity. Originally found in Dragon Mountain/Monstrous Compendium Annual 1. Zygom The mushroom caps of this fungoid growth contain a highly adhesive glue that spills out when broken. This substance contains spores that infest a living creature, allowing the fungus to take control. Originally found in Monster Manual II. Alternates: Cushion Fungus: large round soft underground fungus releases spore cloud that puts creatures to sleep and absorbed by the fungus (Dragon #172) Fireweed: underground heat-absorbing plant, immune to fire, converts heat into edible vegetable matter (Dragon #227) Chromatic Mold: underground spore-producing fungus that fascinates victims, anyone who approaches breathes in a spore cloud and dies to become a new host (Monstrous Compendium Annual 4/Dragon #227) Brown Mold: feeds on heat, killing creatures by draining the body heat out of them (Monster Manual, 1977). Yellow Mold: emits a deadly spore cloud, can use suggestion 2/day and drains Intelligence (Monster Manual, 1977). Serpent Vine: cross between a giant constrictor snake and a plant, lives in subterranean forests, constrict, spell-like abilities (Ruins of Undermountain II/Monstrous Compendium Annual 2) [/QUOTE]
