Origin
It gave up ordinary feeding entirely and lives off bacteria that turn substances from hydrothermal vents into organic energy.
Appearance
A short cream mineral tube with three ochre bands, an extendable mouthless core, a red three-lobed crown and two block feet.
Signature ability
Sulfur Exchange
A 3×3 cloud on a cluster of enemies: 170 damage, Toxin 45 per second for 4 s, Exposed for 3 s; allies within radius 2 restore 30 HP per second.
Passive trait
Chemosynthetic Reactor
In a Heat or Toxin Field, Ventorm gains resources instead of taking gradual harm from weak effects of those types.
Moves
Red Crown
Toxin / Support
Filters out a mineralized resource and heals itself.
Mineral Tube
Heat / Field
Creates stationary cover and a recovery point.
Sulfur Exchange
Signature move
Toxin / Field
Turns a hazardous patch into a beneficial zone for Ventorm and allies with high Adaptation.
Retract
Shell / Reaction
Hides in its tube and sharply reduces incoming damage.
Evolution
A complete form: this species does not evolve in the first generation.
Rarity: exists only near active hydrothermal systems
