This dynamic fungal warrior stands poised for a lethal strike, its body hardened by shelf-fungi plating and armed with razor-sharp claws. Standing at a towering 60mm, this imposing Myconid is the perfect boss encounter for a spore-infested dungeon or an elite guardian for a circle of spores druid.
A fungal entity lunges forward from the shadows of an underdark cavern, ready to strike with its claws.
An elite jungle or cave guardian, a regional boss for low-to-mid level parties, or a high-level Druid in a transformed combat state.
