Plague Mother Spore
One of the most dangerous creatures in Battal, a Plague Mother Spore resembles a gigantic combination of spider, octopus, and queen ant, and is serviced by her/its thousands of children, who resemble giant albino spiders.
A plague mother spore is infused with the energy of some kind of plague, be it Fellonyourheadwhenyouwereababyitis or Grey Death. As long as the plague mother spore persists, the plague it is associated with will continue onward; furthermore, as long as the plague mother spore exists, the negative emotions of those it is near will magnify thousands of times over.
Difficult to contain, much less destroy, a plague mother spore must be defeated by a Life Elemenstor to keep it from regenerating. Destroying its hordes of spider-like minions whilst slogging through its seemingly-endless underground tunnel-hive is an obvious prerequesite to defeating the beast.
In Elemenstorer, one of the major subplots concerns destroying a plague mother spore nest.
"Plague" is not the formal version of the word; it is pronounced "plah-HUE," after the Death Elemenstor who claimed to be birthed from a plague mother spore to get attention.
Plague Mother Spores rarely appear in The Elemenstor Cycle, and are generally referred to indirectly, mainly reguarding their effects on emotion.
"Man, all she's done today is nag, whine, and cry. I swear, she's got a PMS." --An unknown peasant in Book 4
