Dreadbeard

Gorfang(pl. "Gyrfaing"; Kh. "Adisakheg"), or "Dreadbeard," is a red or purple moss which nests in dimly lit crannies throughout Moria. Usually it is found in high byplaces and is out of reach, although it emits a reddish mist which often betrays its niche. This telltale spray also causes sleep, so one must take care when approaching the moss. Even if you evade the mist's effects, however, a more loathsome fate may seize you, for the Dread-beard's juices can be fatal.
