Reports have been coming in of bizarre tall mushrooms growing in areas suffering from deeply-rooted resen infestation. These fungal structures are reported to emit steam and warmth, allowing local infested creatures to continue roaming outdoors even during the cold seasons rather than seeking shelter indoors or underground until the weather warmed up like they had in the past. Tse Gaiyan officials are deeply worried that this signifies an increased stage of resen presence and evolution in the Lost Lands region.
==========
Areas with a significant resen-infestation presence will now spawn steamstalk mushrooms which act as room warmers and allow infested to continue spawning and roaming outside in their areas even in the cold! This will prevent infested areas from becoming less-populated during the cold season, allowing for their continued use as regular combat zones year-round. Hooray!(?)
