Short Description
Globally-interconnected communities of humanoid mushroom-folk who live in caves, ravines, and dark grottoes across the world that are often considered mysterious but mostly harmless by other racesFull Description
Mychiddians, the humanoid mushroom-folk, are a peculiar and mystifying race, dwelling in the secluded darkness of caves, ravines, and shadowy grottoes scattered across the world. Standing at a stature comparable to humans, they exhibit a vast diversity in physical features, varying extensively within and between their global interconnected communities, known as circles. Despite their human-like height, Mychiddians are characteristically slow movers.
Their bodies, true to their fungal lineage, possess a soft texture reminiscent of mushrooms, yet beneath this lies a structure of hard, near-surface bones that emanate a metallic feel, constituting an endoskeleton. This unique anatomy renders Mychiddians lightweight, typically weighing between 20 to 30 pounds (9 to 14 kg), but also bestows them with a tough natural hide, balancing their mobility constraints.
Society and Behavior: Mychiddians lead harmonious lives within their circles, maintaining a sense of global connection through intricate networks, reminiscent of the mycelial threads of fungi. These communities, while appearing enigmatic to other races, are predominantly benign, fostering mutual respect and cooperation. The Mychiddians’ secluded habitats and elusive nature have led to an aura of mystery surrounding them, yet they remain mostly harmless entities in the eyes of the world.
Interactions and Perceptions: To the outside world, Mychiddians are seen as creatures of curiosity and wonder. Their seemingly cryptic existence and unconventional habitats have sparked tales and speculations, painting them as both intriguing and inscrutable beings. While interactions with other races are limited, encounters with Mychiddians often leave an impression of a race that is gentle yet resilient, connected yet secluded, and above all, harmoniously coexisting with the natural world around them.
