-The spore storms of Esuilus are notoriously toxic, but another danger lurks. A rare species of fungus in the region occasionally infects animals and monsters of all shapes and sizes to turn into walking breeding grounds. These corpses are puppeteered by the fungus, appearing much like your typical undead besides the grotesque mushrooms and lichens growing out of their bodies. These fungal growths glow bright enough to even be visible inside the bodies of their victims.

-Be careful that what you kill is worth it, for the smell of death draws monsters of all kinds closer in hopes of a meal. One of the worst is the carrion crawler. These monsters are grossly bloated maggots that scuttle about after the smell of rot on many, spindly legs. They are always heralded by a foul smell and boast a voracious appetite. They prefer to act as scavengers, but will attack anything stupid enough not to run at the first whiff of them on the air. They generally ignore their own kind, but will fight with each other over food. They lack the intelligence to work together.

-The ropers of Esuilus have adapted to blend into the underside of mushroom caps, disguise themselves as rotted tree trunks, and most commonly as harmless rock formations. They are impossible to see until they move to strike, lashing out with long tendrils to haul prey closer to their needle-toothed maws set beneath a single eye. Attacking tendrils does no damage to the beast and only striking the main body can rid the area of these ambush predators. The most dangerous are those high above that are difficult to hit and have a habit of dropping prey to damage them in the fall before grabbing them again.

Their chitinous plating is difficult to crack and the huge claws can be quicker than one expects.
