Even from this distance I can see its outrageously long snout, its giant pointed ears, and the spiny bristles along its back. It looks part [&#8230;]]]></description>

In fact, in the old reactor, a new radiation-seeking fungus is thriving: In 1999, a robot sent to map the inside of the reactor returned with samples of a particularly black fungi, indicating an abundance of the biological pigment melanin, which also colours your skin.
