The Host is one branch of a species of living-flesh creatures, called Carnis. The Carnis are deadly, human-eating, horrifying beats. The Host itself, is an ultra-rare kind of monster, only ever being seen a few times. Using razor-sharp spines that protrude from its back to blow out fungal toxins into the air when threatened, it is quite hard to even hurt. It also seems rooted into the ground, also using some form of 'telepathy' to talk with it's prey.
