Born from the same source as trolls, fungal crawlers are born from human suffering. Fungal crawlers wander aimlessly, only attacking anything that comes too close. Fungal crawlers emit the sounds of their origin; the moans, wheezes, and gasps of pain and death, leading to many accidentally earning the ire of that creature by approaching to administer help. |
