Okay this one’s going on main for sure because WOW THIS IS SO COOL!!! AHHH!!!!!
You did so much work for this oh my god I’m so impressed!! This is actually so cool I love these designs so much!!!! Even the stats and everything that’s amazing!!! The way you used the bleeding tooth mushroom’s bitter taste as a personality trait, the way pompom’s white fades into brown just like in the lion’s mane when they age!!! (I want him to hug me right now she looks so huggable ahhh!!!) (I am short circuiting sorry I’m just so excited with all the work you did lol)
(And I do get the strawberries and cream joke! I find it funny that the two most common names for this mushroom are “bleeding tooth” and “strawberries and cream”. Getting very different vibes there lol)
AHHHH thank you for doing so much work I love this so much!!!!!
so...here's my part for scugshroom colony because i think it's a very fun designing challenge
@mushroominaforest i hope you won't bite me for this
THOSE are my small notes i made to simplify information i saw as important. fungi i chose are lion's mane(Hericium erinaceus) and blood tooth(Hydnellum peckii), they looked cool and i went okay. okay.
this is the Empath, or Pompom. (she/he/they/it) she's VERY big and VERY fluffy. she has a very sweet and caring personality, while holding strange fascination with cycle of death and rebirth and, weirdly enough, interest in the Rot, despite being as terrified of it as others. as his name suggests he's very empathetic and is usually first to help, he's that one responsible adult who helps kids who are afraid of doctors face their fears (haha not that im that kid...). (and yes i am implying that he frequently helps slugcats figure out when they need help and how to get it. trust me that sentence makes sense. actually, read this as 'he's basically like calypso from bluey', that's the vibe.)
she's also secretly a gourmenot child but no-one's supposed to know that /hj
this...is...strawberry and cream duo...(get it...bc strawberries and cream...)
slugcat is the Colorist, or Cream. (she/they/it) they are not yet past their puphood, so they're small (but they won't grow much because ummm i decided so). their natural appearance tends to scare some off, especially their small blood-looking spot on their lower jaw, which gives them a vampire look. she's very bitter and can come off as snappy, but it's mostly because she's been rather lonely most of her life! she found a companion in Strawberry, or the Courageous One. (he/it) Colorist is the one who patched up his wound from another lizard, and the one who made his cape as a sign of friendship. they formed a rather symbiotic relationship in which they, both seen as weaklings or outcasts in their homeland, help each other be stronger.
they're basically double trouble lol
the Colorist has incredible interest in fabric and likes making useful and fashionable items like bags or simple scarfs. they usually tend to isolate themself from others but it doesn't mean they don't see themself as a part of a collective, they're just used to not being well-liked. i can see Strawberry trying to make her interact with others more while she's just being all grumpy but still goes along with it haha.
this was a lot of fun i love thinking about how to convert facts into character traits soooooo yeah that was very fun :)
