This massive mushroom monster and its underlings are the final remnants of magic left on this forest. The magic was embedded within the forest by some sorcerers that were banished from the nearby city due to their dark arts. This area was once a very important trade route for the city and once the magic became active many vicious creatures began to flourish from the forest to attack the city. Over the years many of the creatures were defeated by bounty hunters and city officials but this mystical mushroom remains. Due to its size and poisonous spores that corrode even steel, this creature has been nearly impossible to defeat.

Here you can see some brave/foolish soldiers attacking its limbs, the mage is a third party trying to rescue the warriors from their doom but it seems this is a losing battle for them.
