Description
Violet fungi are very large purple mushrooms which rather strongly resemble wailing morels (shriekers), with which they are 70% likely to be found. They are about 3 feet tall plus 1 foot per hit die.
A violet fungus has 1d4 branches or "arms" which are normally folded against the creature's stalk and 80% unnoticeable; these arms are 1 foot long for each hit die of the fungus, and whenever any creature comes within this range (as determined by the GM), they begin to flail around wildly. Any living creature (other than fungi) which is touched by one of these arms must make a saving throw against poison or be dissolved in 1 round; a Cure (Cause) Disease spell applied before the end of the round following the attack will also save a victim.
