Nemreth
The origins of the sentient plant lifeform known as nemreth are a mystery. A single host has enough spores to form armies under the control of a hivemind driven only by hunger and a desire to survive. Only one option exists when the reanimated corpses home to these spores are seen—run. Infected nemreth hosts vary in size and appearance and are typically humanoid corpses. While the nemreth can speak telepathically, it sees all living creatures as little more than meat and potential hosts.
Spore Strength. Whenever nemreth hosts are in close proximity to each other, their life force is combined. While an individual host can be destroyed quickly, the danger lies in when they turn into a pack.
Hive Mind. Although the nemreth may be divided into individual hosts, it remains a single sentient creature. When confronted with mind-altering spells and effects, each host has their mental resistance combined with others in the pack.
Toxic Spores. Virus-like nemreth spores are highly contagious and quickly take over a fresh corpse to bolster the nemreth pack.
