Shrieker
They live in dark places beneath the ground, often in the company of Violet Fungus. When the shriekers attract curious dungeon dwellers by their shrieking, the Violet Fungus are able to kill them with their branches, leaving plenty of organic matter for these saprophytic life forms to feed on.
Purple worms and shambling mounds greatly prize shriekers as food, and don’t seem to mind the noise while eating.
Shrieker spores are an important ingredient in potions of plant control.
Shriekers are normally quiet, mindless fungi that are ambulatory. They are dangerous to dungeon explorers because of the hellish racket they make.
Shriek: Light within 30 feet or movement within 10 feet causes a shrieker to emit a piercing shriek that lasts for 1-3 rounds. This noise has a 50% chance of attracting wandering monsters each round thereafter.
