| Ground blurb || The Spore Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Sporeshade Grotto's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by subsurface cavern conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Sporeshade Grotto would be if the biome could choose to fight.
