Carnivorous Winds
The "Carnivorous Winds" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Carnivorous Winds

The fungus guided us back to the cave entrance, where the storm had subsided. A small, reptilian creature hesitated at the threshold before crossing into the open wastes. Almost immediately, a sharp current of wind scooped the reptile into the air. We could do nothing but watch as it was sliced into smaller and smaller pieces, only to be digested by enzymes in the air. Outside of the sanctuary maintained by the fungus, life on the surface is at the mercy of the carnivorous wind. Given its brutal accuracy and responsiveness, it is safe to assume the wind is at least somewhat sentient. And hungry.
