Blast Cap
The
Blast Cap is a mushroom found growing in many inhospitable environments. Everywhere they grow they sill have the same characteristics.
A Blast Cap has a fleshy coating which holds a deadly toxic gas. When touched or disturbed a Blast Cap will explode sending
out these toxins. They are mostly corrosive but deadly to breathe as well. So far no creature has been recorded to eat a Blast
Cap and live.
The
Blast Cap has long roots, which it uses to retrieve water deep underground. Even though it can’t be seen there is water
deep under the rocks in Alinds, which the Blast Cap survives on. When a Blast Cap self-destructs it also releases Spores into
the air, which then settle on the ground, and new Blast Caps grow from this. A Blast Cap takes about 1 Hour to go from Spore
to Adult.
The
Blast Cap can survive any landscape with water. They grow in the dangerous Torvus Bog, many ecosystems within Tallon IV, and
in the hot and mostly dry climate of Alinds. In a normal circumstance about 2-8 Blast Caps will be growing in the same area.
