Fumerola grow as crusted, chimney-like mounds around volcanic vents. They need volcanism: each species keeps to its own kind of geysers or magma, on icy, rocky-ice and rocky worlds.

Look for them next to geological signals. Their colour follows an element in the crust, and their colony range is the shortest of all genera.

Species

Where each species was found. The ranges are those of its finds, not limits the game sets; a body that fits every line of one row can carry it.
