'Those are the Fae equivalent of fungi, the Horde. I never believed that one day I would have met them. According to Raagu, not only are they incredibly rare, but they also hold the secret of the white core!' Athung thought.
The Horde was the next evolutionary step of the fungal creature that Lith had fought back in Kulah. They had access to all elements, not just water and earth, and possessed much more powerful cores.
The Horde's rarity was due to their inability to give birth to offspring. Once Awakened, a mold could reproduce, but the newborn would be part of the hive mind and body of their progenitors, not a new being.
