Flavor Text

: It scatters spores that flicker and glow. Anyone seeing these lights falls into a deep slumber.
: As it drowses the day away, it nourishes itself by sucking from tree roots. It wakens at the fall of night, wandering off in search of a new tree.
: It scatters its shining spores around itself. Even though they’re dangerous, nighttime tours of forests where Morelull live are popular.
: It likes damp dark places. When night falls, the spores filling the caps of its mushrooms glow.
