Morphean mushroom

The morphean mushroom is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest III. It is a grey-stalked funghoul with a lavender cap dotted with light blue spots. It spews intoxicating breath like its funghoul comrades, while also putting enemies to sleep just by attacking them.

Etymology

• The Morphean mushroom's name is derived from Morpheus, the Greek god of slumber.
• The monster's Japanese name Matango is a reference to the 1963 body-horror film from Toho Studios about a group of castaways on an island who are slowly transformed into mushrooms. It was released in the United States in 1963 under the name Attack of the Mushroom People.
