Questions/Question 446

This question is an attempt to clarify the ruminant ability, The Fatigue of Katoblepas, which is described as:

The ability to breathe fire or poison. Ruminants of this type may be drawn towards eating poisonous vegetation, or other dangerous substances to further fuel this ability. When Full-Shifted the virulence of their poisons and the strength of their fires increases, but their head and neck grow correspondingly heavy, and difficult to lift.

Would a fire-breathing ruminant be drawn to eating toxic plants, or would they be more inclined to seek consuming something else (i.e. kerosene; alcohols; petroleum; etc. other highly flammable materials) to fuel this ability? Furthermore, are they immune to the deleterious effects, or do they suffer at all from the consequences of these cravings?

The diet for ruminants is basically the same! Whether they discovered an ability towards breathing fire or poison, they would be drawn towards eating similarly dangerous vegetation. A fire-breathing ruminant wouldn't have to consume petrochemicals in order to fuel themselves. (Though they might not be sickened from it. Alcohol and gasoline are toxins, in their way.... A Ruminantia partying hard and drinking the night away could also find their poison/fire breathing ability enhanced with it.)

Ruminants are also protected from the consequences of eating poisonous vegetation/objects. Before they're fully corrupted they might feel some stomach upset if you like, but they would be able to survive their new diet from very early on.
