Zarglers

Zarglers lurk in the murky pools of the Vohdian jungle, waiting for prey to ambush and devour with sharp dagger like teeth.

Their main form disguise is to mimic the glowcap reedshrooms that grow in and around stangnant waters. This, at least, is what is commonly believed. The truth however is that Zarglers do not mimic Glowcap Reedshrooms, they ARE Glowcap Reedshrooms.

Indeed Glowcaps represent the initial stage of a Zargler's lifecycle, as well as it's main method of reproduction. The tips of the Glowcaps are often seen floating in the fog like bioluminescent jelly fish, drifting til they find water then landing and taking root. This, unbeknownst to most, means that a Zargler has fed recently and was able to produce offspring to spread to further waters.

Zarglers only occur somewhat rarely, and do not need to eat living creatures except to reproduce. They can wait in ambush quite happily for centuries, merely growing more glow cap stalks in anticipation of a warm blooded meal stumbling into the waters.

Before the Zargler forms, glowcaps are completely harmless and rather beautiful. Some poor soul no doubt cultivating them for watery-garden displays, unknowingly growing jaws of death within an enclosed space.

The name Zargler is a reference to 'Zargulgurrursh' one of DistractedElf's custom Warlock Patrons from her writing streams.
