Torchmunk is the evolution of Scorchmunk. Evolution occurs if a Scorchmunk has migrated to a fertile forest. When food becomes too plentiful for it to naturally manage, it evolves into Torchmunk. Torchmunk’s elongated form possesses a second stomach that compresses the excess nutrients it consumes into egg-like structures. It can store these eggs indefinitely or expel them for use as a food source. Mostly considered solitary creatures, if a Torchmunk finds an agreeable partner, it can synchronise its attacks, exponentially increasing their power.
