Lantern Grub
Layer 1 · Habitat: Dim Galleries
A soft, finger-long grub that glows pale green from inside
Description
A soft, finger-long grub that glows pale green from inside. Colonies cling to the gallery ceilings like stars, and delvers carry them in jars as lanterns that never need oil. Their light has a cost: every hunter in the galleries knows what it means.
