Spores (Ex) A sporebeetle swarm is constantly cloaked in a cloud of psychoactive spores. These spores function as a disease with the following characteristics: Swarm—injury; save Fort DC 13; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds; effect confused, as per the confusion spell; cure 1 save. The save DC is Constitution-based.


Sporebeetles are the living seeds of a plant known as a sporebeetle bush, created from a symbiotic species of beetle that lives within the plant. Twice a year, the bush emits spores that transform most of these beetles into diminutive, carnivorous plants. These carnivorous plants retain their beetle-like carapace, but are otherwise comprised entirely of plant matter. These living seeds prowl the forest in rapacious swarms, consuming all warm-blooded creatures in their path. After a few weeks of gorging themselves, the beetle-shaped seeds fall to the ground, immobile, and grow into new sporebeetle bushes.
