Spore Snufflers are huge pachyderm-like herd creatures native to the Fungal Forests. The striking polka dots and bright colors of the Snufflers fur is meant to showcase to potential predators their level of toxicity. Although as the Snufflers age their bright colors begin to dull, leaving their bulky sizes as their primary means of defense. Mostly inhabiting the spore swamps, which most creatures would find too toxic to survive. However, the Snufflers are actually responsible for the production of toxic spores in these very swamps. Rather the colony of Snuffleshroom fungus that grows on the Snufflers back and head are to blame. These mushrooms germinate in the mud of the Fungal Forest, which is coated onto the young Snufflers by their parents. From that point the fungus gradually grows as the Snuffler grows. Researchers believe the Snuffleshrooms grow in this manner to avoid the Spore Snufflers voracious fungus appetites. It is much safer for these mushrooms to grow on top of them, instead of on the ground to be easily consumed. The additional benefit for the Snuffleshrooms is they gain extra height and mobility to spread their spores. As the Snufflers continuously move while using their trunks to consume less fortunate ground dwelling fungus. Luckily for the Snufflers they also gain an important benefit from these hitchhiking fungus. The fungus growing from their backs from such a young age gives Snufflers an immunity to the spores toxins and most known poisons.

However, younger Snufflers are kept out of the deepest areas of the fungus swamps. Safely nestled inside giant dome structures, that the adult Snufflers construct for them out of mud and the bones of fallen Snufflers. Here they will stay with their mothers until their poison immunity strengthens enough to allow them to join the rest of the herd. Before having their babies the mother Spore Snufflers will even rub off much of their mushroom colonies. To ensure the mothers spores do not poison their babies. The humanoid natives of the Fungal Forests prize the Spore Snufflers for their size and poison immunity. Making it a common sight to see domesticated Spore Snufflers within towns in the Fungal Forest.
