Feratu Fungus (fəɹˈɑːɾuː fˈʌŋɡəs)

A spindly orange fungus. Targeting small creatures, it parasitically latches onto them, sapping their nutrients. This makes the critter almost feral, rustling around for food wherever they can find it. The host also gains toxic skin from the mushroom. Their symbiotic relationship with the Ko has spread them throughout Phi.
