Characteristics edit
Funghouls are spotted, red-capped mushrooms with stalks thick enough to serve as a face and body. It has stubby arms, small feet, sad, yellow eyes, and a fanged mouth with a tongue lolling out. In some spinoff games, it is considered part of the undead family as the Obake (おばけ) in its Japanese name refers to a type of yōkai or ghost in folklore. The funghoul's English name is a combination of the words "fungi" and "ghoul", a type of demon from pre-Islamic Arabian mythology that is said to feast on corpses.
