Mushroom (Monster)

Mushroom monsters, or mushroom girls, are a type of transformation that occurs when Velshara transforms a human in an area of heavy humidity or low light that would be optimal for fungi to form and thrive.

Appearance
Mushrooms have a less humanoid appearance than many other monsters, possessing the general form of a woman but having a large mushroom cap atop their heads. Mushrooms still possess hair, which flows from under their mushroom caps, giving the cap the appearance of a hat despite being a physical part of the mushroom's body. A mushroom's legs fuse together near the feet, ending in a fungal hyphae. Despite this, mushrooms can move about freely by shuffling on their hyphae, and will hop short distances as well.

Abilities
Being fungal in nature, the primary weapon of mushrooms are their spores, which can daze, confuse, or incite lust. In a pinch, they can also attack by headbutting with their large caps, which can be surprisingly effective.

Resistances and Weaknesses
As members of the plant family, mushrooms are weak to fire-based attacks, but are resistant to water.

Variants
All mushroom variants have names inspired by a different species of mushroom.

Button: A green and yellow mushroom with long green hair. She's the only one that appears in Rise of Velshara.

Portabella: A tan and brown mushroom with short, curly hair and white spots on her cap. She's named after Portabello mushrooms.

Chanterelle: A red mushroom with her hair tied back in a braid and white spots on her cap. She's named after the fungus of the same name.

Amaphalli: A flesh-colored mushroom with a black cap, blood-red hair, and glowing red eyes. Her name comes from the first letters of Amanita phalloides, the scientific name for the highly toxic mushroom known as a "death cap."
