Thread - Thread is a non-sentient extraterrestrial spore which originates from the cometary tail of the Red Star. On
flesh it leaves phosphorus burn-like wounds when the consumption can be stopped in time -- but warning, Thread works fast! Only dragonfire, water, freezing cold, and agenothree will kill Thread; a quick skip between will freeze it to char. Only metal and rock is impervious to it. Once in contact with the ground, Thread will begin to burrow and feed, consuming all organic matter it touches and leaving behind a shell which deteriorates rapidly. Thread burrows at an explosive rate as the spores feed, and are difficult to eradicate once a burrow has established itself. Although a Threadfall is often described as a "silver rain" in the sky, it actually falls in irregular clumps rather than in rain-like
sheets.
