Fried Darkmantle (3.5e Equipment)

Fried Darkmantle
Summary::It turns out darkmantles are the octopi of the underground, and they make the most excellent calamari.

Darkmantles are harvested by underground races as a seafood substitute, as the taste and texture of darkmantles is said to be very similar to that of octopus, though slightly less salty and more "earthy". It is usually prepared as "fried calamari". It is also fairly healthy as the darkmantle collects a load of vitamins and minerals from running groundwater and slow drips which form the very stalactites they mimic.

If you eat darkmantle meat for a week or more you become healthier overall, and gain a +2 bonus on Constitution checks and Fortitude saves against disease and poison. This stops once you go a day without eating darkmantle meat.
