Description
Done for the latest cow topic, Fungal Beast.It is hard to determine whether the Mycolian is actually a fungus or animal, as it displays characteristics typical of both kingdoms. 90% of this creature's body has become composed of fungus, including it's nervous system. It relies on using a sporous sac located on it's head to deliver a cloud of poisonous spores as a means of either attack or defense.

You have quite an imagination. A good world has every little thing that one would think makes up one. In this case the wildlife. Keep that brain goen. Good work.

I dont really see the fungus part of the animal, it looks more like its covered in feathers to me. Before reading the description I thought it looked like an alien peacock wolf thing.
Love your gallery of xeno wildlife, but I'm faving this one because I think its your best work. It will probably be my wallpaper for a while. You seem to have a pretty good understanding of biology and ecology with that Extreme Sexual Dimorphs post. The animals on this planet are crazy enough, imagine what they're like on an alien planet! Oops! I guess you already have!

Thanks! yeah, I see what you mean. The intention was that the feathers are actually fuzzy fungal growths like what happens to some insects infected with fungi.
