VACUUM FUNGI

This symbiont protects the host from exposure to the vacuum of space.  Vacuum fungi was once a parasitic fungus which would slowly spread through an organisms body until its host was eventually paralyzed from rigidity. However, the genetically modified variety simply reinforces the host’s body against the forces of decompression.  The host is immune to the bludgeoning damage caused by exposure to a vacuum and does not suffer the effects of decompression. The fungi reinforces the host’s biological systems but only requires the torso slot for implantation.

Because the symbiont protects the host’s body by creating a fibrous lattice though out, the host suffers 1 point of permanent Dexterity damage.  This damage repairs naturally if the symbiont is ever removed from the host.

This symbiont is often used in combination with lung lichen.
