Shroud Moss
Fire and slashing weapons cut through this colony fast, but its filament body squeezes through inch-wide gaps no solid creature could follow.
Shroud moss is a predatory fungal colony that drapes itself like a burial shroud over the dead and the dying, drifting through gaps no solid creature could fit. It can gather its filaments into a humanoid shape and exudes a haze of spores through which it whispers directly into the minds of those nearby.
In play
Frightful Presence (aura, emotion, fear, mental) 60 feet, DC 37; Requirements Assume Shape is active.
Filament Body A shroud moss's body is physical, but much lighter and flexible than normal. They can move through openings down to 1 inch in diameter with ease and are treated as Tiny creatures for all effects affected by a creature's size. A shroud moss adjusts its saving throws against wind-based effects down by one degree of success.
Sporecloud (aura, primal) 60 feet. The shroud moss constantly exudes a transparent cloud of spores; creatures in the aura can communicate with the shroud moss via telepathy.
