Agaric Soldiers

(After discarding my last idea of bug-related enemies, I came to the conclusion that fungus would be cool because baked goods catch mold easily.)

The soldiers of a secluded forest kingdoms known as Agaria will be the most common enemy seen in Billy’s series. Mutations of your typical Fly Agaric Mushroom, these red goons are equipped with a sturdy helmet cap and a branch spear, tipped with the same material their caps are made of. These little red prongs are meant to infect the inside of a wound with fungal matter, further accelerating the mold process. Agaric soldiers are very well disciplined, and they will use endless determination, strategy, and the sheer number of these things to overwhelm their enemy.

A common tactic among the soldiers is to burrow themselves into the ground, so that only the cap is sticking out, and use a mycelium network to communicate. Once an intruder walks into their group, they alert each other and jump out from their holes, spears and formation ready.
