Beware: even if the raid is done and your team finished off the last Ochu's around the area, you should still avoid touching the spores they throw after their death throes.
Those plant life forms evolved in a way on which their spores can still create new life once they hit a fertile soil. However, some adventurers learned the powerful effects such spores have in case you touch them, giving aphrodisiac effects and boosting sexual performance eleven times.
For that reason, the predatory hunting of such creatures put them at serious risk of extinction due to the... ahem... Market demand for such substances risen dramatically over the years after that discovery.
Nobody aside from tree-hugging druids care enough to save such abominations from extinction.
When reached by this publication, the crown apointed ministry of adventuring commented:
"What? Why we would want to create a sanctuary for these monsters? Did you know that one Ochu eats 4 cows per month? Before the weird aphrodisiac effect was discovered, nobody wanted to hunt those because they said 'the crown doens't pay well for Ochu's heads'. Now, everybody is looking for Ochu's in their backyards, hoping to catch some spores and sell to those young pervy adventurers looking for the orgasm of their lives. Ah, this young generation is a shame: back in my days, we wouldn't risk our lives for some weird aphrodisiac..."
The Ochu's spores market raise their shares again as the demand grows. Market specialists warms of a future crash in aphrodisiac prices in the near future.
