Fungoids are humanoid fungi with widely varying forms, typically found in damp, dark environments such as subterranean caverns, forests, and swamps. They communicate through spores and pheromones and absorb nutrients from decaying matter rather than consuming food. Fungoids reproduce through spore propagation.
The races of fungoid are:
Mycelia are fungi of various shapes and sizes, composed of interwoven, thread-like filaments that spread from multiple points to form an interconnected mass. They lack stems, leaves, or roots, but many have tendrils for absorbing nutrients, communication, or manipulating their surroundings. They are most commonly found in the and the swamps of Praetoria.
Highly adaptive and resistant to most poisons and diseases, many mycelia can link their consciousness, sharing knowledge and sensory input across vast distances. Some are passive and reclusive, while others aggressively spread rot and infection.
Myconids are small humanoid fungi, standing 0.3 to 0.6 meters (1’ to 2’) tall and weighing 3 to 15 kg (7 to 33 lbs). They have lightweight, spongy bodies, fibrous limbs, and a spore-bearing cap of varying shape, size, and color, typically featuring gills or pores on the underside. Most have a single eye and lack a mouth. They live up to 80 years.
Myconids inhabit forests, swamps, and subterranean caverns across Praetoria, with the largest populations in the of the . By nature, they are patient and contemplative, preferring harmony to conflict, but will respond aggressively when threatened.
