Monstertober day 24 - Fungi + Curious

some funny little Semi-Fae fellas. they use a material form like Dryad, manipulating the form of fruiting fungi into something very small and adorable. because the actual mushroom body is a temporary one to spread spores, these forms don't last very long, and once the mushroom begins to rot the Fae must leave it and go back to living in mycelium until it finds a young mushroom to adopt. they are very inquisitive and love watching the world go by.

in late fall, hundreds will come together into rings and celebrate in the night in an event where they will use their energy stores to create new fae. although usually leaving their mushroom forms in the ring formation until the fungi itself dies as normal, some villages near dense populations of these Fae instead have the creatures march in and abandon their forms there, allowing the people to make use of the mushrooms instead. this is most commonly seen in predominantly goblin villages.
