Rooted
Category: RXX: Companion
The Rooted is actually incredibly docile for a Couloir Gigafauna, and made of fungi instead of true plant matter at that. Where it has major differences there, it still has some familiarities, especially in that the Rooter mimic is an enormous pest. The creature tends to snuffle around the Chasm cluelessly in search of a new environment after leaving the Couloir, tracking long, loose trails of mycelium everywhere in the tunnels there and wherever it winds up. It has the same tunneling propensity as a regular rooter, the fungus on the tip of its snout and along its back hardened, giving it a horn and shell, letting it root around and take loads of punishment from whoever usually lives on the territory it's digging up before it even notices someone was perturbed. The Rooted genuinely might not even fight back, choosing to remain a large pest that can make area hazards. It does not care.
