#fungitale

Notable pets and who owns who! Some pets have been changed or dropped. If you no longer see them on the list they are redundant. This is so I can stop hecking loosing track of them all lol

Doomfanger: A very grumpy territorial and sassy tortishell long haired cat. Doomfanger is a bitter old lady and the apple of edge and noir's eye. The two skeletons share custody of the cranky kitty. Red and rust fear her

Baby Bones: A black and white tuxedo cat with vacant wide blue eyes and an even emptier head lol. He may not be the brightest bulb in the box, but he makes up for it by having no survival instincts and having a purr that sounds like a blender. He followed red home one day and just never left. He is probably the only other creature on the planet besides edge and noir that doomfanger tolerates.

Doris the eel: she is in fact just a freshwater eel. She doesn't move much. Her hobbies include staring unblinkingly into your soul, yawning once every two years and contemplating the meaning of life. Sometimes cash will doodle on her tank to make it look like she's wearing a mustache. Mal keeps her in his shop as a conversation piece.

Chaos: she is a fluffy white teacup chihuahua. She may or may not be possessed by a demon. Willow has done exorcisms on her before, but it never fixed anything. The dog is sometimes your average pup, and sometimes you see her swimming through the air being chased by a flock of flamingos. Or shes balanced on top of four bowling balls in the kitchen so she can reach the stove to make pancakes. Or she just strarts talking straight up latin at you. Only willow remembers these strange incidents. Any other viewers just seem to forget and see her as a normal dog the next day.

Baconator: oaks favorite chicken out of his flock of 14. She’s a fat little thing with brown feathers and the sweetest sounding cluck. If anyone sits down, she’ll flutter up to sit on their lap. Super friendly

Freeloader: a rare magical animal with the ability to unlock any lock, freeloader is just a chubby sweet little racoon. She was found injured and wild, then nursed back to health by mutt. She got emotionally attached, and he couldn't physically stop her from breaking back into the house every time she was released, so he put a collar on the animal and called it a day. Lord named her.

Snakesphere: Wine's pet cornsnake. He treats the reptile like his child. Any criticisms of the creature are met with very biting sarcastic retorts. Snakesphere is pretty normal other than the fact that he likes watching coffee play video games. Sometimes the snake will try to bite the screen whenever birds appear.

The Tank: ranchers four year in a row prizewinning dairy cow hand raised by him from birth to now. She's SUPER friendly and social. She will also jump into ranchers arms on command. She has tried going into the house on multiple occasions.

SonOfA-: originally named Tommy, one of rancher and peaches roosters. He's a mean motherf*cker and normally they would make a dinner out of the overly aggressive ones, but SonOfA- has successfully killed two hawks and a fox. Rancher argues that his power would be wasted on a kitchen table to peaches despair, so the attack chicken remains.

Sweetpea: partner's riding raptor. She is a very clever girl~ no really! besides being a good riding animal, he taught the dinosaur to wave hello, retrieve his hat, and even moonwalk. Her favorite treats are chicken nuggets, rabbit heads and captain crunch.

Lettuce and Pumpkin: two small dog sized iguanas owned by compass! The two lizards are harness and leash trained. They get a daily afternoon walk. They also enjoy country music! They will snatch food out of your hand though so be careful

Toad and toadette: button’s two pet funguys (hamster sized walking mushrooms). They spend most of their life in their enclosure, but sometimes she lets them free roam around the house. They make loud chirping noises whenever someone rings the doorbell.

Princess: princess is a large handsome free roaming male maincoon cat owned by the mafia siblings. Boss did his best to name him Rascal, but the combined efforts of heist and ace have caused the cat to only answer to princess. His hobbies include trying to seduce the local strays and sticking his paws inside people’s mouths.

Dumpster diver: or dumpster for short. She is one of the mutts owned by tegu that he’s trained to be a hunting hound. She is some sort of hound dog mix and was found eating a rotisserie chicken in a dumpster hence the name. She’s very attached to tegu and will cry at the door if he leaves the house without her.

Ehehehhe

They’re going to capture you!!!

Wishing a very happy birthday to @skele-lin !! I heard you like mushrooms and skeletons!

Fungitale!

And before I start, I just wanna thank @wisteria-and-crocuses for letting me make my own take on her idea/AU! Check out @wisteria-scribbles for her awesome writing!!!

Alright so to set the scene, y’all have to know about fungitales past~

Long long ago, during the famous war between humans and monsters that almost every au seems to have, the enemy 100 mages get together to create the barrier. However, unlike in other AUs, they failed to realize that the foci they were using for the spell was rotting on the inside. Infected with a common mushroom spore taking root, the wooden runic symbols instead up burning away in the spell suddenly blackened and expanded like balloons in the blink of an eye. Bursting before any of the mages could react, a rotten grey cloud of now cursed mushroom spores covered the whole forest infecting and turning every single animal, human and mage into the parasites~

The parasites were foul creatures, corpses covered in boils and sickly grey mushrooms, filled with only one desire; to consume any souls it could reach. The barrier spell in its previous purpose of trapping souls had become corrupted by the failed ritual, instead creating these zombie mushroom creatures that would attack anything living. The corrupted mushroom spores were spread through contact, and animals and humans all became infected. From the biggest creatures like whales, down to the smallest mammals, even mice. Only plant life, insects and the monsters were left unaffected.

With how rapidly the mushrooms took over, and how determined the parasites were, it only took mere decades for the entire world to become a mushroom jungle. Monsters being its last surging species.

Despite the mushrooms being unable to make forms out of a monsters dust, parasites would still hunt them relentlessly, attracted to their magic and souls. Monsters learned to stay in small pocket families as to not attract too many parasites with their scent, and due to the parasites craving for magic, agriculture was near impossible to accomplish. Too many magic plants in one place meant your home was soon overrun.

Thousands of years later, monsters had slowly evolved to better fit their ruined world. They became faster, sneakier, and they hit a whole lot harder. Shorter frames are also common, as the safest way to shelter was burrowing deep underground in stone lined caverns. Gathering parties had to be carefully planned. Only the most skilled survived.

Despite all this, each year the monster population was carved away by the seemingly immortal parasites. Just about every fungitale monster will say that the crash had saved them from extinction. By some stroke of luck, the parasites didn’t cross over during the crash with the fungi monsters. Many researches theorized that it was because they were just curse fueled shells, not truly living creatures. However all of the wild natural magic fungi did, and it gave these monsters their name as the fungi monsters.

And now, meet the new babes!

Button (fungitale sans)

Button is a small skeleton monster at only 4’5 feet tall. She has honey brown magic and a large x shaped birthmark in the middle of her face. Her ecto is very chubby, especially in the rear making her look like the cutest little pear. She has a small gap between her front two teeth. She is aged 68

Button is EXTREMELY shy. She can’t even muster up a full sentence to a stranger without a relative or trusted friend near by. She’s jumpy, and always listening for trouble, a habit engrained in her from her old au. When she finally starts to get comfortable around someone, she’s just as cute as a button. She’s snuggly, sweet and sensitive and empathetic. Button always is down to lend a listening ear to her loved ones.

Button works at the temple in the library specifically. She takes note and inventory of old records, makes purchases for new material and helps restore or copy deteriorating books. She adores her job and would happily die surrounded by ink paper and leather.

She is very magically powerful as a fungi monsters, but never learned how to make a magic weapon. The fungi monsters focused on centering all their magic into simple bullet attacks that would KO any parasite targeting them. She’s currently still in training to learn how to form and better control her magic. She is about halfway into completing her first magical weapon which is suspiciously starting to look like a feather pen.

Buttons special ability is called blast off. She can “charge” up a basic magic attack for up to five minutes before releasing it around and above her in what looks like a mushroom cloud explosion. It’s devastating and can totally take out a building with ease.

Things she loves: her family, books, anime comic and manga, lady magic, candles and incense, sage green, her pet fun-guys, stealing her siblings hoodies, mochi and miso soup, peonies, learning new languages, K-pop lol.

Truffle (fungitale papyrus)

Truffle is a skeleton monster of rather average height at only 5’10 feet tall. He has large spots on his skull and pelvis, birthmarks. Truffles ecto is chubby with him carrying most of his weight in his stomach. He has a small gap between his front two teeth. He is aged 60

Truffle is a very strict no-nonsense personality. He has little tolerance for tomfoolery when there’s tasks still to be done. His responsible nature and rather bossy attitude has made many assume he’s the oldest sibling despite him being the baby lol. When he isn’t working though, he is gentle and sweet. A startling difference between his focused but sharp temper when he is on duty.

Truffle is the head chef of the Rush Room, a very prestigious restaurant located in trinity peaks, the waterfall cluster of villages located right under the temple. He corrals his staff in what their duties are as well as determining the menu and how the recipes are made and presented, and he cooks of course. He may not be the official owner, but every one knows he’s basically the owner.

As a fungi monster, he is very magically powerful but untrained for the same reasons as mentioned in buttons intro. Truffle is further along in his magical training and has successfully created his first weapon, a massive frying pan.

His special ability is called the head butt of death. His sister amanita came up with the name. When truffle head butts something, it explodes. Doesn’t matter what the material is. He’s only limited to the fact that it cannot be more than three times his size

Things he loves: COOKING, cooking shows. Vintage cook books, MEAT, the color brown for STEAK, weightlifting, dueling, graphic tshirts that have FOOD on them, DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON, heavy metal and screamo, attacking his punching bag like a rabid animal, his sister’s pet fun-guys and roses because they’re EDIBLE

Side characters:

Amanita: (fungitale undyne) the sister and oldest sibling of button and truffle. Amanita is a river monster with a chubby strongman build, bright red scales and white hair and magic. She is loud, aggressive, VERY PROTECTIVE, and a big romantic. Amanita has a shrewd mind for business management and is successfully juggling her restaurant and a mushroom plantation as well as a simple processing and packaging factory. She is head over heels for Peace (templetale alphys) and is always bugging button to help her get ideas for wooing the cute lizfolk.

Enoki: (fungitale gaster) a middle aged skeleton monster with dark chestnut magic and a rather overweight build. Enoki is the father of Amanita button and truffle. He is strict but soft spoken, and used to be cripplingly shy too when he was younger. Enoki is in charge of the temples food stores and menus. He makes sure meals for the monks and temple staff are made on time, that ingredients are in stock and purchases are made. His kids definitely got the chubby gene from him, a trait that was wonderful for survival in his old au lol. But nowadays the poor guy really has to watch what he eats. His soulmate helps keep him active.

Button: she would be TERRIFIED of him, especially if the mushroom growth was visible. Girl would shortcut at the sight of him. And no, there’s not really any way to get her to make friends past locking her in a room with him somehow for a week. Best they just don’t interact.

Alright 5 biggest crotch munchers let’s go!

Booo, way to take out the most obvious choice
