A sleepy mushroom that keeps to the back, puffs slowing spores and grows spore pods on open ground. When it goes down it bursts, and so does any pod you hit: both sides feel it.

Kit
Base numbers. A stray always has its whole kit; your companion unlocks the same skills by level. Everyone can also Shove.
| Skill | Cost | Unlock | Numbers | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spore Puff | Action | level 1 | 3x3 at range 3 · 4 damage · slowed 1 round | A puff of spores over a small patch: everyone in it takes a little and is slowed. |
| Sprout Pod | Action | level 2 | range 3 · cooldown 2 | Grow a spore pod on an empty, dry tile. Any hit, shove or blast bursts it on both sides. |
| Glow Feed | Bonus | level 4 | all around, radius 2 · allies shielded 3 · cooldown 3 | A warm glow that shields every ally nearby and puts out their fires. |
Where to find it
It never wanders the world: you meet it only in a fight, in the encounters that call for it.
