Challenge #04422-L038: Not That Harmless

Not all havenworlds are harmless. Some, for the natives, it's paradise. But for those not native to it? A deathtrap. -- Anon Guest

The mistake everyone makes is believing that Havenworlders are weak because they were basically coddled for their entire evolution. What they miss is that the Havenworlder-Deathworlder scales are calibrated according to how much or how little the planetary system is amenable to the lives of its natives.

Flora, fauna, mycotta, weather, geology, microbiota, and other orbiting bodies within the stellar system. These either have it 'for' the life on the inhabited planet, or 'against' it. Coddling, in the case of Havenworlders, or challenging the Deathworlders. As a result, Deathworlders are tougher and more adaptable to unexpected than most, and Havenworlders are more likely to fit very well into their home environment and very little else.

In this case, this particular Havenworld is largely based on mycotta. Fungi are the dominant form of technically-vegetation and the atmosphere is periodically spore soup.
