Flora and Fauna of Note of the Fumigated Sea

Thermadors: These creatures look like a cross between a lobster, a spider and a horseshoe crab. Thermadors have eight legs, the front pair of which are large pincers which they use to scrape the bacteria from rocks from which they feed, and the back pair are a set of large flat flippers they use to propel themselves through the mud pots and boiling lakes of the Fumigated Sea. They are a long as a man is tall and can weight up to 300 pounds. They are covered in a hard armored shell dotted with spikes that is incredibly resistant to heat and have a large tail that ends in a sharp spine. Their flesh is very sweet and delicious, if cleaned properly.

Ash Yams: These tubers grow in abundance near the smog line. Earthy and slightly sweet baked or boiled Ash Yams, along with Thermador flesh, serves as the cornerstone of most settlers and the Painted Gnolls diet.

Spitter Crabs: This creatures name is actually a misnomer, being related more to spiders than crabs. Unlike spiders Spitter Crabs have hard chisel like front legs and rather than excreting webs they excrete a concrete like substance that they build their nests out of. They use their front legs to dig into the ground then cover their nests with a thin layer of their secretions allowing their prey to fall into their nests where they coat them in their spit.

Yeti Crabs: These crabs are the most numerous of the many types of crab in the Fumigated Sea. They have extremely long pincer arms and legs that are covered in downy fur that they use to cultivate the bacteria on which they feed. To cultivate the bacteria Yeti Crabs spend most of their time in and around the various hot pots and chemical pools common in this sea.

The Awoken: Not all of the mummies entombed in the spherical coffins of the Iron Hail slumber. Some, after untold eons of slumber have awoken and they are pissed. As twenty foot tall hulking undead monstrosities the Awoken wander the Fumigated Sea crushing anything in their nigh unstoppable warpath. As undead the Awoken do not need to breath, an asset in the Fumigated Sea.

Rock Worms: These long tube worms that live in the geothermic cracks and vents and can grow up to ten feet in length. The have red beaks on their tips that open when the noxious gas clouds appear to absorb nutrients. As these beaks open before the clouds appear they can give some advanced notice to those that are paying attention.
