PURPLE PUFFBALL (#19/31, #79/365) [TTHA]

Appearance: This is a big puffball with a hard exterior whose colour varies from lilac to violet, and grows individually in the shade of large expansive woodland trees.

 

Distribution: Forests and woods across Khul, and also various offshore islands such as the Arrowhead Archipelago.

 

Effects: A Purple Puffball can be thrown as an improvised weapon. Upon impact it will explode in a large cloud of purple 'smoke' - actually thousands of microscopic spores. These are harmless to inhale, but act equivalent to a Darkness spell, centred around the point of impact.

Cost: City 35gp, Town 40gp, Village 45gp (per puffball)

 

Availability: Uncommon

 

Notes: The Purple Puffball is related to Giant Puffballs (see The Titan Herbal, p. 55) and Poison Puffballs (see The Titan Herbal, p. 54).
