The Toadstool or Redcap variety of fungus people are malevolent and expansionistic. They are divided into castes by size and function. The Queen is the absolute ruler of her fungal domain. In addition to the fungal spores available to her Workers and Soldiers, the Queen may also douse an opponent with controlling spores. This fungus insinuates itself into the nervous system of the creature, and puts it under the telepathic control of the Queen. Queens often surround themselves with controlled monsters or unlucky humanoids. Those controlled by the Queen usually perish by violence or when the Queen forgets to have them eat and drink. The Queen, like others of her ilk, cannot stand sunlight, and will perish with long exposure. Instinct: To expand and exert control

• Coordinate attacks by her minions
• Spray a foe with controlling spores
• Summon *all* of the minions
• Calm a foe with pacifying spores
• Emit danger spores when threatened, wounded, or killed
• Cover opponent in hallucinogenic spores

The Toadstool or Redcap variety of fungus people are malevolent and expansionistic. They are divided into castes by size and function. The Soldiers are the militant servants of the Queen, and attack with weapons or a burst of poisonous spores. They may also attempt to calm an attacking creature with pacifying spores; pacified opponents may make no offensive actions and are stunned. Soldiers communicate telepathically with Workers or the Queen, and can be quite dangerous in groups. Luckily, they cannot bear the touch of sunlight - an hour's exposure is enough to melt them into goo. Instinct: To defend the lair and Queen

• Spray an attacker with calming spores
• Send telepathic summons to the lair
• Poison a foe
• Emit danger spores when threatened, injured or killed

The Bog Hag is a devious and elemental creature which seeks to spread its wild domain and uproot and tear down the vestiges of civilisation.

The black wyrm is obviously a relative of the greater drakes of lore. It lacks legs and wings, but may slither and swim at great speed. It has the corrosive saliva and acid attack of its cousins and also gathers a hoard to sleep upon. They are immune to poison and acid, and their scales can turn most blades. Fortunately, they usually dwell far from the ken of Man, Elf, Dwarf, or any of the other races. Kobolds have been known to worship and serve them. Instinct: To devour; to grow, to hoard

• Spit a stream of potent acid
• Corrupt with deceitful words
• Cloak itself in magical darkness
• Squeeze into a space that you thought was too small

The Assassins of the Black Heart are not well known, as they pose as independent operators rather than as an organization. They are a deeply religious group that worships a personification of Death. Their priests have the capability of both raising and controlling undead creatures, but they are usually loathe to do so; they prefer the dead to rest in sacred silence. If attacked in their strongholds (favored locations include cemeteries, necropoli, and barrow sites), as a last resort they may wake all of the local dead at once and set them on the intruders. This, the High Priest, is the highest authority of the cult. He or she speaks often with Mistress Death, and learns her chosen victims.

• Finish the ritual
• Feign weakness, then explode into action
• Curse with necromantic power
• Summon the unliving
