"Plague Float"

CLASS: Bioconstruct

Another monster once created as a weapon of war, the Blightshade sprays a foul-smelling brown dust from its hollow antlers that grows rapidly and painfully into a pulsating black cauliflour-like fungus when it contacts skin. Those stricken with the painful blight become uncontrollably attracted to uninfected flesh, rapidly spreading the parasitic fungus that eventually reduces the body to mush. Though the fungus is easily curable and the damage just as easily reversed, it makes an immediately debilitating weapon and keeps the shy and sluggish Blightshade a widely-loathed monster.

Blightshade use their long tongues to continuously taste the air, and feed by snorting fungus-ridden flesh into their nasal tubes. They make an organ-like sound as they blow spores from their antlers.

It looks like something from Dungeons and Dragons... was that intentional? I'd have to look up the name...

Nope, not sure what monster you would be thinking of. Maybe Thought Eater? I was just thinking of a seahorse type body.

The Rukarazyll ( [link] )? Probably just a coincedence...

Oh, that's one of my favorites! but yeah, having a horned animal skull head and a fungus theme is about the only similarities.

What jolted this thing into creation, other than you?

A lot of my monsters stem from a single body part idea. I thought it'd be cool to have something that spews poison or disease from hollow antlers, and the body I drew around that idea just came out really minimalist.

My earliest versions didn't even have the spine, ribs or stomach, just a cluster of tentacles :P
