'''Unofficial Description:''' Shriekers appear as 5-6 foot tall mushrooms. The caps have holes in them.

{{otherlore|Shriekers and violet fungi often work together to attract and kill prey. When the shriekers’ hellish racket attracts a curious creature, the violet fungus tries to kill it. Both creatures enjoy the fruits of a successful hunt.

A shrieker is a stationary fungus that emits a loud noise to attract prey or when disturbed. Shriekers live in dark, subterranean places, often in the company of violet fungi, whose poison they are immune to.

Shriekers come in of shades of purple.|{{SRD3ref}}|3.5e lore}}
