Here’s a short flavor text for a Caves of Qud pet, written in the game’s distinctive style: Gleam-Snout, the Resonant Hoarshroom

A fist-sized, bioluminescent fungus bobs beside you on twitching cilia feet. Its cap is a cracked mirror of rime-flecked chitin, humming with a low, sympathetic frequency. When you suffer a wound, Gleam-Snout trembles—then emits a soft, ringing note that knits your flesh by a single point. It eats sunlight and the echoes of your footsteps.

“The sultan’s gardeners bred these from a mute spore found at the bottom of a chrome well. They weep brine when you sleep. They remember your dreams as heat.”
