Aaand here is the second page for the second week of Funguary!

This time with lore!

So these little fellas are part of a miniserie of my creation called 'Mean Little Fairies", where fairies are the mischievous protagonists. These mushroom fairies are long lost cousins of the more humanoids one and live deep in the magical forests where humans and animals alike do not dare to venture. So, to survive, they evolved by becoming part mushroom themselves for compensating the lack of resources they could feed on (mammals, including humans). Unfortunately, exactly due to their appearance, they are frequently mistaken by more humanoid fairies and magical creatures that inhabit these environments as normal mushrooms, so they get eaten and there are cases of accidental cannibalism between fairies. Some of these mushroom looking creatures developed multiple eyes to look out from predators, some of them have their vitals protected by unexpected hard shells and so on.

I'll admit I got carried away and didn't look up the prompt very well, BUT it's still in theme ig
