Araumycos

Araumycos is a part of the Underdark and lies beneath the High Wood. A long time ago this area was mined and occupied by the dwarves of Ammarindar during the time of the elven realm Earlann. Today this cavers and mines are inhabitated by a huge life form called Araumycos. It is an enormous fungus wich covers almost all the parts of the Underdark beneaht the High Wood. But it seems that it has reached its peak open volume since it grows no longer through other territories.

Some areas of Araumycos can be attacked with normal weapons or are vunerable to fire, acid and other meanings. But destroyed parts will grow back in within ashort time. It seems that the fungus is unaware to intruders and their destructive ways but there are rumors telling some different things. Araumycos has terrible defences like poisonous gas and it can manifest slimy creatures similiar to oozes. It is said that some of them have strong psionic skills. Araumycos can also use spores to dominate the will of victims and emit substances which can animate skelettal reimains upon which they cling to.
