Brown Mold

Brown Mold is a brown fungus that lives in dark, warm environs. It feeds off of heat, so the area around a Brown Mold becomes increasingly colder as it is approached. The Brown Mold is surrounded by an Aura (10ft) that deals 50 Cold damage per round. When it deals this damage, the Brown Mold quickly grows in size (25% for each 50 points of damage dealt). Additionally, torches and other flames that enter the area are immediately snuffed (causing the Brown Mold to grow larger). Fire damage dealt to the Brown Mold also causes it to grow larger (25% for each 50 points of damage dealt).

When exposed to direct sunlight, the Brown Mold goes dormant until darkness returns for at least 24 hours. Cold damage dealt to the Brown Mold causes it to go inert for 1d4 days. Cold damage of 50 points or more kills the Brown Mold.
