Properties
Puddle Spores float on the surface of lava lakes, protected from potential predators by an impenetrable shell. When it does sense danger, a Puddle Spore will attempt to intimidate its opponent by opening its mantle cavity to increase its size. The mantle is vulnerable to weapons fire, however, and a direct hit to its mantle will cause a Puddle Spore to enter a defensive position in which it flips itself over and conceals itself in the magma. Its underside is flat and can be used as a platform to cross lava-filled areas.
A Puddle Spore can also slam its mantle shut, ejecting a harmful spread of projectile energy globules that will damage on contact.
