Description
Appearance
The Fungi from Yuggoth resemble lobsters with wings. They can fly through space with a Ship's Rating of 2. When they speak, they do so with a buzzing, droning voice.
Combat
All impaling-type weapons cause only the minimum possible damage when they hit. If they hit a single target with both of their claws, they can grapple and take flight (make a strength check at half-strength to break free). It will then drop the opponent from a devastating height.
Habitat/Society
The Fungi come originally from Yuggoth, but often set up enclaves on other worlds. They are remarkable surgeons, capable of removing the brain from the body and keeping it alive and active indefinitely. They worship Shub-Niggurath and Nyarlathotep in particular.
Ecology
Very little is known about their ecology. It seems that they would need very little of anything to survive, as the come originally from Yuggoth (i.e., Pluto, which was surmised by some scientists but not in the least bit verified in Lovecraft's day).
