Monster Lairs – Fungi – Myconid city

Slab

There are a lot of mushrooms out there that can make for surprisingly good security systems, and the mushroom-like people known as the myconids are masters at making use of them. Shriekers are your basic alarm, screaming loudly whenever anyone comes near or a light source is shined upon them. Violet fungus is a bit more of a violent deterrent, striking out at intruders and converting them into more violet fungus. Finally, there are gas spores, which are largely harmless if one stays away from them. They float about, resembling beholders, which is usually enough to scare off most intruders. Those bold enough to attack one will find themselves infected by poisonous spores as the balloon-like fungus explodes with the slightest damage.
