Glashrooms are a type of chemoheterotrophic/saprotrophic organism from the swamp regions of Vivatus.

Physiology

Usually, Glashrooms form a layer of scum over swamps, and utilise the anammox process to produce nitrogen from nitrite and ammonium, yielding energy for growth in the process.

When carrion is found, Glashrooms form mats, and secrete an oily layer over themselves for protection. Once a food source is exhausted, they will become spores and disperse in the swamp.
