Myconid Spore Servant

Source: Monster Manual (2024) p. 223


Spore servants are corpses that have been overgrown and reanimated by a myconid sovereign’s spores. These fungus-infested bodies are extensions of a myconid sovereign and obey its will.

Myconids

Keepers of the Spore

  • Habitat. Underdark
  • Treasure. Any

Myconids dwell in remote Underdark reaches overgrown with molds and mushrooms. These ambulatory fungal creatures tend to their sanctuaries and avoid becoming embroiled in the conflicts of other creatures. They use specialized spores to communicate, to alert one another to danger, and to defend themselves. When myconids encounter others beings, they use mind-linking spores to allow nearby creatures to telepathically share thoughts. Nevertheless, myconids’ goals remain mysterious to most non-fungal creatures.
