Homebrew Fungals Species Details

The Fungals are a species closely related to Scrooms. These species are quite similar and cannot mate without deformed offspring due to genetic variation. The Fungals have cone shaped bulbs for heads instead of Scroom's dome shaped bulb. With a diverse but less advanced society, the Fungals are very isolated and usually dwell at the bottoms of creeks and ponds. With the inability to move, these creatures cannot attack predators. This caused an evolutionary arms race that led to the Scroom's poison blood. This very same race created the Fungal's Metallic armor that is poisonous if eaten. The Fungi species are magnificent considering they over time adapt similar strategies involving poison to predators. The Fungals live in small villages with populations of 20-40 Fungals. These creatures have much variety and have many cultures. They are however primitive due to the lack of population and access to fire. With a small mouth to eat poisoned material they shred dead creatures. This tiny little monster is roughly only 1 in wide and 2 in tall. Unlike Scrooms who have many color variations, Fungals only have three races. These races are only defined by color and color only.
