Heat Absorption. The area within 3 meters of a brown mold is deprived of heat. Living beings suffer 1d4 damage from heat loss in their body. Water freeze in a matter of seconds, other liquid compounds becomes denser and cold.
COMBAT & TACTICS
Molds are mindless life forms and do not employ any kind of tactic. They are passive predators that feed on organic compounds.
DESCRIPTION
Molds are fungi-like creatures that may resemble ordinary fungi. They usually measure from a few centimeters to 6 meters, or more if they encounter favorable conditions. They have no shape on their own, expanding or contracting to adapt to the local terrain. They vary in color from yellow, brown, or deep red.
HABITAT
Molds require heat to thrive, thus hot planets are their natural environment. This fungi-like life form is considered an extremophile and has been found on acidic and hot worlds that are still in an early stage of their evolution. Explorers from the far space tell that they have discovered planets entirely covered by mold, a sort of living creep that prosper by absorbing heat from their star and/or active planetary core and feed on its own organic substances and organic compounds present on the surface and sub-surface of the planet.
BIOLOGY
Molds have a very primitive biology, and yet an exotic and rare one. They have a slow metabolism, relying on external raw energy sources like heat and radiation to keep growing and expanding. Rumors about whole planets covered by a creep composed of molds may be indeed true, what scientists wonder is what kind of weird and exotic evolution the creep may have accomplished.
