The myconid spewed forth a cloud of spores. Still, Drizzt tensed his muscles, preparing a spring to the side if things did not go as he expected. Drizzt made no move, understanding the importance of establishing an acceptance between himself and the new king of the fungus-man colony. The largest of the myconids moved forward to stand before the dark elf. Then it was left to the fungus-men, and to Drizzt, to defend their domain. An oasis such as this place, with edible plants, a stream full of fish, and a herd of rothe, was not common in the harsh and empty stone caverns of the Underdark, and predators wandering along the outer tunnels invariably found their way in. For many years the myconids had lived beside the rogue drow, each protecting the life-filled chamber that served as their mutual sanctuary. The fungus-men found Drizzt's appearance disgusting-as disgusting as he considered them-but they did indeed understand that Drizzt had destroyed the basilisk. Drizzt crossed his arms over his chest, a commonly accepted Underdark signal of peace. A group of myconids fanned around him as he reached the top, some only half Drizzt's height, but most twice as tall as the drow. The wall to the upper tier was more than ten feet high and nearly sheer, but Drizzt scaled it as easily and as quickly as if it had sported a wide and flat staircase. Myconids were not stupid beings if Drizzt kept his weapons sheathed and made no unexpected moves, the fungus-men probably would accept his passage through their tended grove. Now they were no doubt scared and dangerous, but Drizzt suspected that they knew, as well, that it was he who had slain the monster. The basilisk had come in here in its first travels to the region, and the myconids had suffered a great loss. He knew that the myconids, the fungus-men, a weird cross between humanoid and toadstool, were watching him anxiously. they're very slow and can't talk (just telepathy).i'd say go for some kind of halfmyconid Here's some lore if you're curious.The book, Exile, has two separate passages on them, here's the first passage.not posting the second as it'd be a big spoiler.
