Saprophians

Saprophian is Matt's word for the creatures the party meets in the tunnel under Pangranos RW E5·00:12:59. More heavily armored Saprophians come around the way, carrying actual weapons, with bones and skulls used to obscure their faces RW E5·00:08:46. Lou's Deli notes that the Saprophians in front of them do not seem to be aggressing RW E5·00:13:00.

Saprophians are fungal folk living beneath Pangranos, in a city called Saprophus that Matt describes as the home of the seventh kingdom of Calorum RW E6·00:01:42 RW E5·02:07:10. They include workers, warriors and civilians RW E5·02:07:10. In episode 5 Karna calms a small Saprophian, but Raphaniel's Universal Speech fails to turn the others and he orders "Kill them" RW E5·00:16:28 RW E5·00:31:29 RW E5·00:32:04. Matt's recap in episode 6 says the party followed the mycelium network and the Saprophian fungal folk, and that the mycelium heart has made a deal with the FDA, the Sanctus Putris RW E6·00:01:42.

In episode 6 a Saprophian Elder faces the party, and the Elder dies after the Avatar is destroyed RW E6·00:01:42 RW E6·01:48:09. Through the link Matt shows the Saprophians rising against the remaining architects, torn apart to maintain their silence, and the mycelium asks whether the party can keep a secret RW E6·01:52:58 RW E6·01:53:52. In the flight, Saprophian citizens turn on the party, and a small Saprophian points the way out RW E6·01:59:29 RW E6·02:03:28.
