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.
