Gorgzuic Jungle Hex Generator

A mountain valley exploding with feverish and too alive jungle. The plants here quiver, sweat and writhe anxiously about the stonehomes of dead dwarfs. The whole mass of lurid vegetation is shuddering and anxious. It seethes with an unsure and confused fecundity. Beneath the slobbering flora, a guilty and sorrowful civilization rots.

Mutant gorgzu tree

Landscape
With
1
Field of plunging rock pools hidden by algae or vines.
Thick steam, heavily reducing visibility.
2
Granite butte erupting clear of the vegetation.
Ragged and derelict collection of wooden huts.
3
Jagged stone hills, thick with jungle vines and vegetation.
d8 roomed decayed dwarf villa of ornate carved stone.
4
Cavern like canopy caused by truly enormous trees.
Field of dwarf statues, toppled or still standing, several elephants tall.
5
Rocky and desolate glade, framed by walls of vegetation.
Entrance to a moss and vine choked cavern with d6 chambers.
6
Cliffed valley, curtains of vines and a carpet of moss.
Decaying dwarf look out tower, mounted by iron bars, affording a far view.
7
Valley of spherical boulders held in place by a criss crossing of vines.
Crisscrossed vinerope bridges, at a height halfway to the canopy.
8
Black watered lake, covered by a film of roiling jungle scum and too large lily pads.
Ravine, dividing the area. 50% chance of rickety vinerope bridge.  
9
Field of vine covered stone, hidden gaps, drops and cliffs that fall to lower cavern below.
Vegetation is grey, black, crumbling like ash and dead. Trees will collapse with ease.  
10
Gaping cave or tunnel, at ground level, houses a shady pocket of dark jungle.
Vines, ferns, fronds so thick and choking as to be solid wall of seething wet greenery.

3) Infestation of dog sized wood borers, gorged on felled trees.
4) Stalking translucent millipedes, large as snakes.
2
Birds, d4:
1) Purple plumage, green beak. Man length wingspan. Perches and glares balefully, never moves. Rumbling croak.

3
Weather, d4:

2) Oily, black, sludgy rain. Will foul food and water supplies.
3) Crystal clear snap rainstorm. Fresh, invigorating but ultimately dampening.   
4) Too thick and breathless, high pressure air that brings pounding headaches.
4
Empty, d4:

5

8
Animals, d4:
1) An ambulatory mushroom vaguely in the shape of a turtle. More turtleshrooms erupting from its shellback. Obviously shambles forward spreading spores.
