Teroq Dsevex

Teroq is a fungal parasite, infecting any of those that make physical skin contact with it. The fungus on it's own go into a docile/dormant state to decrease energy usage. Once making contact with a host it will pretty quickly grow onto the victim in 1 - 2 hours, taking full control once the brain is reached, over time it slowly grows a thick hard shell as armour. Further on from that as the host is drained of their energy they start to decay, weakening. After about one month of usage the fungus would leave it's drained host, going back into a dormant stance, leaving the host as a dry husk on the ground.

Teroq have many forms, Spore production, offense, defense, command and anything inbetween.

Teroq are a Semi Autonomous Hivemind. They usually follow a chain of command depending on the teroq form. Half the time they decide on their own, adding a touch of randomness to their thoughts.

Teroq Forms Spore Production Forms

Spire/Spires Spires are a tall mass of teroq fungal biomass, that build up to form a spire. Teroq Spores are produced inside the mass and are ejected from the top of the spire in one big cloud at a time. They are ejected at intervals of 5 minutes per spore cloud. Spires come in many sizes, but they usually only reach a height of 5 meters. Spires are always above ground.

Hordes (Hordes are not forms, but rather a collection of forms)

Teroq Swarm Cloud Horde Teroq Swarm Cloud Hordes range in size from 300 thousand forms to 1 million forms in a single, large spore cloud. The spore cloud enhances their abilities and lifespan. Swarm clouds usually include multiple gigantic classed teroq forms, multiple hunter classed forms ranging in sizes from medium to large and varying spore production forms.
