| abstract | - Despite its appearance, the Vurosis was neither a plant or an animal, unlike any Earth life and immune to any Earth-based toxin. The Vurosis' main body was composed of a system of interlocking white roots. Though they grew haphazardly, they could later be grown in specific patterns and organisations. Many of these roots had black eyes. These roots were warm to the touch and glowed green in the dark. The Vurosis' brain was a small, stone-like structure, about the size of a human heart. It could be separated from the main body, but the intelligence of the Vurosis would decrease. The brain was capable of telepathically communicating with other individuals, as well as physically and mentally modifying them. It could also grow tendrils to manipulate its environment. The brain would give off radiation that would eventually become fatal. The Vurosis could telepathically modify other carbon-based life. When modified, the individual would grow tendrils throughout their body and would take on the bioluminescent glow of the Vurosis. These modified individuals would be loyal to the Vurosis and would do its bidding while it was stuck underground. The mutations could also be overloaded, killing the individual and turning it to dust. In individuals who survived the modification process, the mutation was reversible by the Vurosis releasing its telepathic hold over them. (PROSE: Wishing Well)
