Art by Jonathan Wojcik Boneless except for a soft, cartilaginous skull and telescopic spine, this flexible, rubbery monster spends much of its time contracted completely into its surprisingly tough, mucus-covered mantle, its secondary eyestalks keeping watch as it sleeps hanging upside-down from a ceiling or tree branch. The filmy slime secreted by a spoilspore's mantle is thick with symbiotic molds and bacteria. On contact with a foreign organic medium, this microbial concoction begins to feed and replicate with incredible speed, breaking down even the toughest organic materials in mere minutes. Spoilspores have a well-earned reputation for cowardice, laziness and melancholy, and most exertion will quickly drive spoilspore back into their protective mantle. Though they prefer a diet of fruits and toadstools, the spoilspore is not averse to feasting on the putrefied remains of creatures. They, in turn, are fed upon by terrestrial gastropods and constantly attract large numbers of slugs and snails.
