Description
Insects that widely inhabit many areas. Noted for absorbing fruit, mushrooms and honey, then carrying them back to their nest. Materials can thus be collected from their swollen abdomens, whose color is related to what is being carried. Altaroth have large mandibles used for absorbing their favorite foods. To help them feed, special enzymes are used to digest these foods. The foods are changed before they're held in Altaroth's abdomen and brought back to the colony. Altaroth are quite fragile in nature.
An altaroth is a nocturnal creature that can absorb mushrooms, berries, and other resources into the sacs on their backs. Alchemists and adventurers prize these creatures, for an altaroth sac contains a liquid said to cure any natural poison or disease. Though the sac is said to only hold its potency for ld6 days after the neopteron dies. Altaroth are most commonly found in forests and in mushroom groves.
