Ugk'ilrrrmag (animal)
Also known as 'flesheaters' or 'clots', Ugk'ilrrrmags are a fleshy fungus that resembles a brain at first glance. A parasitic lifeform, they envelop their prey's skin until eventually forcing their way into the circulatory system. As it feeds and grows, the fungus begins to burst from fingers and toes and reduce its victim into a red mass that stumbles about in search of new prey.
Ugk'ilrrrmags are a deadly foe for the unprepared. By the time a growth is noticed on one's skin, the infection is often too far gone for even amputation to save one's life. I have made every preparation I could think of to face such an abomination, but the creatures of the Redlands are not easy to understand and are even harder to kill.
My party spot what appears to be a decaying corpse stumbling about in a nearby ravine, a tangled mess of eyes emerging from all parts of its red, fleshy body. It is undoubtedly an Ugk'ilrrrmag colony crawling toward whatever it can find to be its next host. I follow its slow movement from behind, gradually creeping closer and closer to where I will make the first strike.
The weapon in my hand feels heavy as I consider whether I should risk such an encounter.
