The Fog of the Wilkwoods hides many terrors, all of them will send shivers down your spine, but none more so than the Fangmist swarm. Navigating through the dense fog, these creatures will kill anything that it considers a threat to the hive, though they rarely consume their victims. Most Fangmist live in service to their Queen, acting as extensions of the Queen’s will and carrying out all orders without question.
Any adventurers that are thinking of exploring the Wilkwoods will need to prepare for the unfortunate event of the Fangmist’s poisonous sting. Fangmists have the ability to fire poisonous projectiles at incredible ranges, so one should not feel at ease just because you are not able to see the creature. It is said that the Fangmist’s poison is one of the most potent in the land of Ethia, and simply having skin contact with a Spearmist’s poisonous attack renders one to be in incredible pain.
Remarkably, the main component of a Fangmist’s diet actually consists of honey and nectar collected from the flora of the Deep Wilkwoods. On rare occasions, Fangmists can be seen near water trying to spear for fish. It seems that the consumption of fish is vital for the growth of the Fangmist, but they do it only when they are at the stages close to their transition. The Library is fiercely interested in the honey that these Fangmist produce, but would caution all collectors to be wary of these insectoid nightmares.
