wandering mushroom (f)
A large, fleshy mushroom that wanders slowly around the dungeon. It is both innately curious and incredibly shy, pursuing the objects of its curiosity only when out of sight. Noxious spores drift around its cap.
Speed: 10 | HD: 8 | HP: 39-52 | AC/EV: 5/0 | Damage: 20(confuse) | plant, unbreathing | Resistances: will(40), poison, drown, torm | XP: 315 | Size: tiny | Intelligence: brainless.- Every time it hits and doesn't kill its target, it loses 1 HD (and dies when it loses all 8). Its attacks hit hard, and release spores, which confuse breathing enemies.
- If you walk away from one, once it's out of your line of sight it will follow you. It will never step into your line of sight, but it will do its best to remain just outside of it, stalking you. Thus, if you turn back in the direction where you know one is or was, expect it there. If you need to turn a blind corner in that direction, watch out!
- This monster invariably polymorphs into the much more horrifying {oklob plant} when Polymorph Other is used. Don't be that ghost.
