Fungalfolk

Fungalfolk is a monster supplement for 5e that presents a highly intelligent species of mycelial beings who live in harmony with the natural world rather than dominating it. Instead of portraying mushroom creatures as strange monsters or mindless fungal hazards, this book explores a thoughtful, adaptive lineage connected through living networks beneath soil, stone, and root.

The intent of this product is mechanical clarity and encounter versatility without excessive complexity. The ladder progresses from young spore-born beings to ancient mycelial authorities, representing the natural growth of wisdom, influence, and ecological power within fungal societies. Fungalfolk rely on regeneration, shared awareness through living terrain, and subtle environmental control rather than direct aggression.

Cultural history and rigid political structures are intentionally minimal. Fungalfolk do not expand through conquest or empire. They grow where ecosystems allow them to thrive, forming patient communities that defend their groves only when necessary. Use these stat blocks as tools. Whether the fungalfolk are peaceful stewards, mysterious forest neighbors, or ancient guardians of forgotten wild places is for the GM to decide.

Waspfolk

Waspfolk is a monster supplement for 5e that presents a single-minded expansionist species driven entirely by nest instinct and territorial dominance. Instead of portraying insectoid creatures as merely exotic humanoids, this book explores a biologically alien predator society built on resin nests, collective awareness, and lethal venom.

The intent of this product is mechanical clarity and encounter impact without unnecessary complexity. The ladder progresses from hatchling to queen, representing the escalating defensive and offensive roles within a resin nest hierarchy. Individually, Waspfolk are impulsive and low in independent reasoning. Within the influence of their nest and brood leaders, however, they become coordinated, deadly hunters capable of overwhelming intruders with speed and venom.

Cultural lore and long histories are intentionally minimal. Waspfolk are not diplomats, traders, or empire builders. They expand because instinct demands expansion. They attack because territory must be defended. Use these stat blocks as tools. Whether the nest is newly formed, ancient and sprawling, or an invasive threat to a settled region is for the GM to decide.
