==Profile==
This elemental lifeform originated from the Heart of the Oasis in Apep's body. When Apep was corrupted during the apocalypse, this lifeform and an unknown amount of others were able to escape Apep and set out across Sumeru. 
They proceeded to take on the form of fungi, as they were the most abundant in the area and they sought a way to counter the apocalypse, which they learned as "forbidden knowledge" from humans. 
This particular lifeform took on the form of a Floating Hydro Fungus and befriended two more of them. While wandering across Sumeru, it came across Withering Zones cleared by humans and absorbed the energy from them as they had traces of its "family", which it sought to bring back home when possible.
After Lesser Lord Kusanali removed Greater Lord Rukkhadevata from Irminsul, the lifeform fell unconscious as a result of the forbidden knowledge in its body being replaced with a void at the outskirts of Sumeru City. The lifeform's "family" informed Nahida and the Traveler, the former using her power to fill the void left behind. Surprised to see the Dendro Archon before it, the lifeform told them of its origins and learned that the apocalypse was over and it could return home. It asked Nahida to help locate its other "family", during which they discovered a Withering Zone and another elemental fungi at the outskirts of Mawtiyima Forest. 
Once the preparations were done, they headed into the Desert of Hadramaveth where they met Apep and more of their brethren, who had transformed into Proliferating Organisms to survive Apep's corruption. After absorbing the corrupted family members, it transformed into a Grounded Hydroshroom, where they arrived at Apep's Resort. Hearing Nahida's plea, Apep transported the group into its body, where she tried to restore the Heart of Oasis with the Fire Seed. 
However, it broke and she decided to sacrifice herself, but now returned to its home with its fellow members, the lifeform sacrificed itself to restore the Heart of Oasis. Paimon mourned their sacrifice, but Apep, stated that they had been reverted into elemental power. Nahida then clarified that they would have a chance to be reborn, but without the memories they once had.
