Eboless
An extremely dangerous predator, that haunts the swamps of Dagobah.

The life cycle of an eboless begins as a harmless purple mushroom, that grows on the barks of trees, where it feeds upon its host like any other fungus would do.

When it has spent a year in its mushroom-like state, the purple fruit dies and the adult state evaporates from its old body.

The eboless is now a purple cloud of tiny flesh-eating spores, that is probably held together by unknown force powers and inhabited by a dangerous collective intelligence. In the thick fog-clouded swamps of Dagobah, the creature is effectively invisible. Whenever a victim comes into contact with the eboless cloud, the spores begin to eat and drain blood, while the other spores will concentrate around the prey to accelerate the process.

The eboless will leave only bones behind and use the devoured flesh to grow new spores and regenerate lost ones. When the cloud is well-fed, it will search for a suitable tree and plant new eboless mushrooms.

Special Abilities:
Keen Senses: The eboless cloud uses the force to sense potential prey. If a carbon-based creature with a circulatory system, that depends on blood, passes within 5km of the creature, there is a 2 out of six chance, that the creature will be attracted by the smell of blood. The chance increases with every km the victim comes closer to the eboless.
3 out of six at 4km,
4 out of six at 3km,
5 out of six at 2km.
At a distance of 1km the creature is automatically attracted.

Gamemaster Notes:
The potential damage rises by two pips every round, the victim is exposed to the eboless:

1st round: 1D6
2nd round: 1D6+2
3rd round: 2D6+1
4th round: 3D6
5th round: 3D6+2
6th round: 4D6+1
7th round and onward: 5D6

Any vacuum-suit will protect a traveller from even attracting an eboless, even if walking right through it.

The eboless is unharmed by physical attacks and resists energy damage using the Starfighter Scale. The eboless fears fire and will immediately leave the area if exposed to it. The eboless will not venture near campfires unless severly starved. It also shuns light and force users, which is another hint at undicovered force-powers.

Keep in mind, that the victim does not notice what causes its skin to burn away or where the cloud begins or ends. Millennia ago, the eboless was trapped in small containers and used for assassinations. After the rediscovery of Dagobah by the New Republic, it's a question of time...
