Gloomspite Gitz – Fungoid Cave-Shaman

Visionaries, instigators and soothsayers, Fungoid Cave-Shamans speak with an otherworldly authority concerning future events they claim to have witnessed in the dream-realm of the ‘Great Green’. Their screeched commands are considered as good a basis for a battle plan as any by most Gitz, especially given that these prophecies have a nasty habit of coming true. Fungoid Cave Shamans are the closest thing the grots have to strategists, able to plot wars that span continents or even multiple realms. They do this not through learning and guile but by consuming quantities of toxic fungi that would kill humans thrice over and then jabbering incessantly about the resulting visions they experience. Cave-Shamans fuel their magic with the Deffcap, a highly hallucinogenic mushroom that grows inside the shaman until it bursts out of their cranium. Cave-Shamans sporting such a fungus are capable of casting far more potent spells, for the mushroom appears to draw power from the Bad Moon itself. Any who seek an audience with a Cave-Shaman must tolerate the various squiggly beasts and other critters that nestle within their robes or writhe upon the grot’s gnarled flesh, such as the vicious Spore Squig, a common companion.
