Sporanids

[TLDunn213]

Sporanids or Fungus Men are not one of the Elder Races of the Shard Scape

But a clearly engined race as there are no other mobile fungus based creatures in the Shard Scape; except for Chaos Fungus, which my well be a leftover bio sentry from the War.

In any event the Sporanids first appear in Saurian and Thulian historical records some twenty to thirty years before the Gith rebellion. It is hard to set a date for the start of the Gith rebellion as there was a lot of covert action well before the start of open conflict.

 

As to who created the Fungus men, and why, we only have theories.

The best of these is a colaberation between the Morlocks and the Aqualith. For the purposes of, starting the Gith rebellion, ending the Saurian/Thulian war and acquiring as much biomantic data as possible.

With the longterm goals of keeping the Saurians and Thulians from going extinct while also keeping them from gaining/regaining enough power to become a danger to the rest of the Shard Scape.

 

The reason for keeping them around in a restorable state is really rather simple, at least from a Morlock point of view. They may be needed as allies against the ZerEk someday.
