Difference between revisions of "Spore eater"

Most of the time a spore eater is indistinguishable from a person without the affliction, although those in the later stages of the disease may be noticed as always drinking water or keeping a flask of water close at hand.{{book ref|tress|27}} The gestators for the verdant aether are the only sort of spore eaters that are understood in detail. When a threat is detected, the aether will emerge from the spore eater's body to protect the host. In the case of a verdant spore eater, vines will burst from the host's skin, either splitting the skin or crawling out of somewhere else, such as around the eye socket. When the vines are active, they can be seen moving beneath the host's skin. The emergence of the vines does not seem to do any significant lasting damage to their host, although the person may suffer a gash or lose a drop of blood or two from the locations where the vines appeared.{{book ref|tress|27}}
