Sure they can eat fungus--but it seems they eat a lot of meat, y'know...so here's a question...how would they feed their livestock if they live underground...sounds like they aren't farming, or have too many herders, either...in 1.0 AD&D, most of the humanoids shunned the light...of course in a magical universe, perhaps the answer is they farm or herd a night, maybe they raise fell livestock beasts who only eat grains, etc. that grow by star and moonlight...?</blockquote>
