Homebrew Fungoids Species Details

Fungoids, nicknamed "Fun Guys", are tiny mushroom creatures. They travel via burrowing through the ground, making it appear that they teleport around. They can seemingly burrow through any material. For this reason, Fungoids have no legs, but do have arms. Their head is the tip of the mushroom, with a face sticking out the bottom. The have tiny black pips for eyes and a beak like mouth.

 

Fungoids live in the clouds, making their homes around the mountain peaks in cloud forests. They are viciously territorial and will attack any strangers. Communicating via squeaks, it's often hard to negotiate with them, although their size means they pose very little threat.

 

Should you kill a Fungoids without burning it, the spores it releases will start a new Fungoids colony. These new creatures aren't children, but clones. It's believed that the original Fungoid was a normal mushrooms who was changed with a Monarch's power.
