Muscaria, The Myconid Sage

"Mortals are so cute but fragile beings, and we should pity them for their transgressions. We must teach them to live in harmony with us, not vilify them for their hasty actions."

Muscaria Backstory

Born from the rotting corpse of an ancient cleric of the land left to return to nature, Muscaria was gifted with a level of wisdom and self-awareness that is rare among the fungal growths of the Myconid colonies. Quickly, they established themselves as a force of change within their grove and firmly planted themselves as the right hand of the Spore Queen Rayla Bardon. 

As the advisor of the Queen, Muscaria has many responsibilities. Yet, the most important among them is to be the synapse relay for Rayla, allowing the mortal Queen to convey her commands to the distant parts of the colony. Further, Muscaria has been on several ambassadorial missions to other druid groves, and they have endeavored for nearly a century to unite the land, moon, spore, and fey spirits of nature. 

Roleplaying Muscaria

Rather than using a standard Myconid stat block, Muscaria would be considered an Archdruid of Spores with the ability to communicate to their colony telepathically. 

Muscaria is non-binary, aromantic, and goes by they/them pronouns. They are kind and a lighter mirror of their Queen as they show compassion to mortals. They are young by druidic and Myconid standards, despite their increased wisdom and intellect, and thus are very interested in the outside world, much to their Queen's chagrin. They are difficult to offend and see mortal races as children with tragically short lives, and thus Muscaria is inclined to assist adventurers if given the opportunity.
