## **Abilities (Lore)**

### Generic Spirit Stuff

The spirit of the mushroom forest is a spirit and is able to perform generic spirit/ghost abilities such as phasing through walls and going invisible. However, they can only possess fungal objects and entities.

### Access to the Spore Zone

As a spore spirit, the spirit of the mushroom forest has an infinite access to the spore zone from any large enough cluster of fungi and can instantly warp to any other large enough cluster of fungi via the spore zone.

However, the spore zone is not only a somewhat convenient way to travel around Belterra but is said to also actually be the home of all spore spirits.

### Fungal Magic

The spirit of the mushroom forest is able to perform a variety of spells related to fungi and their primary objective, decay.

## **Personality**

The spirit of the mushroom forest is an extremely quiet and reserved individual. While they tend to appear disinterested in the world around them, they are actually very observant, eerily so, and enjoy to take in the scenery around them.

Having been raised in a species filled with loners, the spirit of the mushroom forest isn’t very familiar with the concept of relationships and doesn’t really care much about them, only really considering Kettle to be their friend since it appears to make him happier and more comfortable around them.

When it comes to work, the spirit of the mushroom forest is very no-nonsense and rarely loses focus on a mission’s main objective. The only things they ever let get in the way of their work is the health of the mushroom forest and now, the health of their new friend Kettle.

## **Backstory**

A long long time ago, a bunch of spores mixed together with a bit of soul energy and created a spore spirit called Amanita who would eventually become known as the spirit of the mushroom forest.

From a young age, Amanita wasn’t ever really shown love or affection as those words didn’t really exist for their species. Spore spirits really only existed to maintain the health of fungi connected to the spore zone and not much else making emotions that didn’t benefit their work rather meaningless.

Amanita, like all spore spirits, quickly grew to the age where they would be assigned a cluster of fungi to take care of. Amanita was assigned to various other fungal patches before being tasked with taking care of a newly grown mushroom forest that was on a meteor in space. It was here that Amanita met the Nil-puter and was nicknamed “the spirit of the mushroom forest”. While Amanita didn’t really care about the nickname, it sort of stuck and they eventually preferred to introduce themselves as that instead of their actual name as it was a more efficient way of telling passers-by who they were and what their role was.
