Ground

A vast underground grotto blanketed in fungal canopy that filters dim light through layers of spore-laden air. Every surface is colonized by competing mycological organisms. Movement disturbs spore clouds that alter perception and plant seeds in lungs.

Canopy Hollow primary N/A F10 Nightroot Conclave
Myco Shrine secondary N/A F10 Nightroot Conclave

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F10 Nightroot Conclave Controlling faction. Home faction on the biome record. Every recorded settlement and every recorded NPC in Sporeshade Grotto.

No other faction is recorded on a Sporeshade Grotto NPC row or settlement row.

Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B004 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-004 Void Spore Cluster SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-004 Sporeshade Mycelium PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-004 Grotto Dew Crystal SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-CAV Cavite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-DAM Damp Limestone Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-GRO Grotto Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-SPO Sporeglass Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-MYC Myco Crystal Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 004 only: flora 4, ore 3, trees 3, total 10. That index does not name the rows, so those three counts are not assigned to names here.

Named flora recorded for Sporeshade Grotto:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-CAVE-004 Cavemoss Yes
FLORA-GROT-004 Grotto Canopy Fern Yes
FLORA-NIGH-004 Nightroot Yes
FLORA-VOID-004 Void Spore Bloom Yes
FLORA-SPOR-004 Sporeshade Mycelium No
FLORA-CAVE-004 Cave Luminweed No
FLORA-BLIN-004 Blind Root No — Protected
FLORA-FUNG-004 Fungal Shelf No

Four flora rows are marked harvestable. That matches the harvestable index count of 4. Two flora rows share the id FLORA-CAVE-004. That duplicate is left as recorded. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Sporeshade Mycelium, Cave Luminweed, Blind Root, and Fungal Shelf. Only Blind Root's harvestable cell says No — Protected. Both wordings are left as recorded.

Not recorded: a named tree list, and a named ore list that matches the index counts of 3 and 3.

Deep zone

Field Value
Deep zone Deep Sporeshade — Deep Spore Chamber
Layout Deep Grotto Descent
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72

Field Value

Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Physical
Arena {'location': 'Canopy Hollow', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Sporeshade Grotto's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by subsurface cavern conditions — no neutral ground exists. In 0.68g, player jump arcs extend 47% further than Earth-equivalent, and boss knockback sends players 35% further than expected.", 'arena_size_m': 116, 'special_terrain': 'Toxic spore cavern network', 'hazard_active': 'Toxic Spore Inhalation'}
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.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B004, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 004 Sporeshade Grotto, K3V amber light, subsurface_cavern environment, 0.68g low gravity, Nightroot Conclave faction territory, AAA game quality, cinematic painterly, panoramic establishing shot, biome landscape at K3V amber light, faction settlement visible, atmosphere establishes biome identity.

Detailed prompt for an image creator: Painterly cinematic establishing shot of Sporeshade Grotto, biome 004, subsurface cavern, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A vast underground grotto blanketed in fungal canopy that filters dim light through layers of spore-laden air. Every surface is colonized by competing mycological organisms. Movement disturbs spore clouds that alter perception and plant seeds in lungs. Toxic Spore Inhalation is the recorded primary hazard. Void Spore Cluster is the signature resource. The Nightroot Conclave settlement Sporeshade Settlement is visible in the grotto, with Canopy Hollow and Myco Shrine in the same territory. AAA game concept art, faction territory readable in the architecture, no text in the image.

The image-prompt table also records twenty ungenerated prompts, IMG00061 through IMG00080. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Sporeshade Grotto, subsurface cavern biome, [type], fungal light, cavern depth, memory-haze atmosphere, Toxic Spore Inhalation environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
