Favourite intelligent plant

[Mycanid]

I voted for the Myconid.

Back in the day, I played a mutated mushroom plant in Gamma World.

Another vote for the fungus people! YAY!

btw Jyrdan, I always enjoyed playing mutated plants. The one I remember best was a setient vampiric tumbleweed whose name was Rawhide.

Mushroom people are one of my favorite part of the WoW expansion. They use mushrooms for money!

Since we can go outside D&D, I'll take Audrey II from "Little Shop of Horrors." Looks a lot like a Greenvise, but a heck of a lot smarter.

Myconids, ents, and dryads ... oh my!

Really? Hmm. I don't play WoW, but I must admit that I never thought of that idea. I am a mushroom lover (an amateur mycologist, ya see ) and am beginning to wonder if these could be applied not only for coinage but also an equivelent for precious stones and jewelry. If you have "petrified fungus" I wonder if the value would increase if carved?

Hmmm....

So what is the correct spelling for the 'shroom men? Myconids, Mycanids, what? If I don't find out, I might have to start calling them Goombas instead.

Myconid was the first spelling in 1eADnD module A4. I don't know if it is also a plural or you add an "s" on the end to make it plural.

MycAnid and MycAnOId, however, are my own spellings based on old pc spinoffs in various rpg genres.

The equsam from Primal Urge. They are parasitic, but control dead animal hosts. They do not use humans, at least wild ones. They breed and magically alter animals (using the biological term rather than the monster type) for their purposes and consider them something to use and abuse like how we treat salad greens.

It isn't so much their personality, but their technology and biology that interests me.

Behold the wonderfully charming Sporeggar!

Shambler is my favorite plant creature. Of the above, it was close between myconids and dryads. Dryad breaks the tie due to smokin' hottiness.
