| Ground blurb || The Spore Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Crystal Caverns'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 Crystal Caverns would be if the biome could choose to fight.
