Valki recognizes the fungus, and is indeed correct about how to kill it. It is brown mold, a dust-like rot that grows on rock and soil, and helps to sustain itself by sucking the heat out of their surroundings. They are not typically a lethal threat, but they can knock people unconscious, leaving them to die of exposure. While the species is immune to its own fridged aura, another other lethal source of cold can kill it, while fire makes it rapidly grow.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OCC</div><div class="spoiler_body">just a heads up, Arafel is in danger of being knocked out by the mold, unless he can be taken out of immediate contact with it by the end of his next round. Simply moving won't be enough, as he still has to pass through the areas of other molds, which would also deal damage to him.</div></div>
