The Umangi are a fungal lifeform. On their home world of Hallous (Kørt’s only moon), the Umangi dominate the landscape. The Umangi mycelium structure penetrates deep into Hallous’s crust, with fungal colonies connected across hemispheres underground. Much of Umangi culture remains shrouded in mystery due to the difficulties of Human-Fungal communication.
It is known that Umangi spread their spores in interstellar pods throughout the system. Because Umangi memories are maintained by the fungal colony’s collective brain, anywhere a Umangi’s spores travel, so too does their fungal consciousness.
Sentient Umangi fungi that choose to live amongst humanoids typically take a form similar to a Human upper body and head. The Umangi are naturally bioluminescent, their glow shifting between various shades of ultraviolet light correlating to mood or atmosphere.
PREHENSILE:
You may Deploy at most one (1) one-handed weapon and are restricted from Deploying weapons with the TWO-HANDED property and moving on the same turn. In exchange, you may climb on any surface and are immune to the PRONE status.
FUNGAL:
You cannot experience Natural Death so long as your spores exist. In addition, once per Breather you may divide your body into three (3) separate Micro sized creatures (Sporelings) or grow to the size of one (1) Large creature (Puffball). As Sporelings, your strength, endurance, and reflex statistics lower by two (2) points each and your maximum Health Points [HP] lower by ten (10). As a Puffball, your strength and endurance statistics increase by two (2) points each. This effect lasts for one hour. When your Sporelings recombine, your Health Point [HP] total becomes equal to the combined Health Point [HP] total of all Sporelings (maximum of 25).
TELEPATHY:
You may project your thoughts into the minds of any lifeforms within six (6) units of you. This communication cannot be perceived by those you do not choose.
BIOLUMINESCENCE:
Your biology grants access to the ILLUMINATION FX.
