mysterious and unconfirmed animals (e.g. chupacabra, etc.)

Exploration Stage: Crystal Mine
From: Vera
Description: I knew this ore was alive! And the destructive chemical reactions happening inside are being caused by an external energy source. Maybe... hey, is there another place in this cave where this stone can be found? And in a merged state with some organic substance!
Completed: You found the mushroom that merged with the dangerous ore in the example. I was right after all! This ore is a parasite! It's a parasite on the mushroom, gradually destroying it, taking its energy for its own.
