Endless Realms bestiary - Myconid Shaman
Bestiary artwork for Endless Realms, a D&D-like "pen and paper" fantasy RPG I'm working for.
It's been a while! I've spent most of the summer AFK (not exactly by choice, either, but I can't complain!), and a lot of the work I *have* done has been either private work or boring graphic design stuff - background watermarks, icons, and so forth. I suppose the most exciting thing I did was complete an Endless Realms art book - it will be available as a Kickstarter reward when Lunar Games launches their campaign next year!
The art director recently realised that we only had one intelligent subterranean race and asked me to design a race of mushroom folk - now, we already have a few mushroom creatures, but most of them lack any anthropomorphisation, save for the benign Fungloi, so I was wondering how these guys would differ from the others. I thought, well, we have a race of sentient plant people, so perhaps these are their subterranean counterparts? In designing them, I neglected to give them eyes because why would an underground race that lives in the pitch dark need them? Instead, I figured they could vibrate their gills to produce sound or other vibrations maybe not normally audible to other races to communicate with each other.

Myconids from D&D were also tribal primitive beings. They communicated via their spores.
They used tools made out of things like stone, bone, and wood. They weren't good with magic, but they could perform alchemy very well.
Also, the adults could use their spores could re-animate corpses as temporary servants.
A peaceful tribal mushroom race... I wonder how these creatures are in Endless Realms? How similar? How different?

Yeah, I know myconids existed in the D&D world as well as a number of other fantasy systems, although I actually have never run into D&D ones at all in my personal experience! As for their similarities and differences, I know as well as you! We'll have to wait until the developers release the bestiary :)
Bam we now have the DJ's for the massive earthquake parties underground. With the Myconid Beast being the lights and the Elder Myconid being the speakers, all we need all the normal little guys, and everything will start shaking. Once the ground splinters open from the dub step shroom party all the spores will fill the air and start the next generation xD
