[[folder:Writher Swarm]]
->'''Challenge Rating:''' 9
->'''Role:''' Combatant
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Fine
Fungal filaments that move across the land devouring all organic matter in their path.
----
* TheAgeless: To a degree. A single spore can lay dormant for several centuries, whether deep underground or on an asteroid.
* LoadBearingBoss: A literal version. Old writher swarms that infect buildings may sometimes eat away support beams and replace them with the long fungal "roots" that thread through the walls. Killing such a swarm destroys these tendrils, causing the structure to collapse soon afterwards.
* SpawnBroodling: A writher swarm can implant infectious particles in the wounds of its prey. Unless the victim is treated before it dies, it becomes host to a new writher swarm, which tears its way out through the creature's skin after it dies.
* TheSwarm: A writher swarm consists of thousands of pale white fungal filaments that infest a building and slowly digests all the organic matter within.

This page is part of the character sheet for ''TabletopGame/{{Starfinder}}'', covering '''Plant''' creatures.
Plants are precisely what they sound like -- {{Planimal}}s, animated plants and plant-based creatures of various sorts. Fungal creatures are also included in this category.

[[folder:In General]]
* FungiArePlants: As carried over from ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' 1st Edition and ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' 3rd Edition, all fungi are classified under the Plant creature type.
* NoSell: Plants are immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns and phantasms), paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep and stun.
* {{Planimal}}: Nearly all plants that are treated as creatures have one or a few traits of animals, including but not limited to mobility, mixotrophy, intelligence... the ones that do not have said traits tend to be treated as scenery instead.

* InSeriesNickname: These creatures are properly called greater ring roots, but are far better known under the nickname ''shipkiller bulb''.
* StealthyColossus: Shipkiller bulbs are extremely difficult to detect, as the gravitational fields they use for feeding also interfere with most forms of starship sensors.

[[folder:Dycepskian]]
->'''Challenge Rating:''' Any
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
----
* GlamourFailure: Dycepskian infestation can be recognised by yellowish-green veins visible around the eyes and a small stalk protruding from the back of the neck, though most dycepskians take great pains to hide such signs. They are also unable to measure the relative importance of their host's memories, and often give themselves away when reciting useless trivia.
* PuppeteerParasite: Dycepskians only gain sentience when they infest sapient hosts, completely replacing the victim's nervous system. However, the dycepskian retains its host's memories and skills, making it difficult to notice the change.
