Zarali Mantar (Remnants)

==Description==
Zarali Mantar is a moss-like fungus which grows in dense clumps on any suitably dim, damp surface with sufficient utrients to sustain it. While it's many tiny 'leaves' appear black, they are in fact an incredibly deep purple color, but due to the everpresent miasma and the darkness which the plants also create, such a small distincition is lost upon most who see it.
==History==
The plant predates current history, having grown as a byproduct of the corruption of the remnant now known as Urgu's Belly. It was discovered in the current era by the dark god Urgu, and used to create his servitor race, the Grues,  and as a tool in his effort to spread the darkness and corruption for which the Belly is known.
==Abilities==
Zarali Mantar forms a symbiotic relationship with the miasma produced by Urgu's Belly; neither can exist long separated from the other. The miasma in an environment outside the Belly generally disipates over a few hours, or sometimes days, but the presence of the fungus releases chemical which enrich and sustain the mist. Similarly the fungus will wither and die in approximately a day without the miasma to provide the environment it needs and to help protect it from the light of the sun.
