This is a spore Druid (using the 2014 Class with the 2024 Druid Rules), however you aren't playing as a human controlling spores, rather, you are playing the spores who have animated a human body.
--- Description ---
They are a somewhat enigmatic “human” man living in the basement of a monastery. He is a talented druid who specialises in cultivating molds and mushrooms. They use these molds to help produce some of the finest cheeses in the region. They are also a surprisingly talented chef. When he cooks, his dishes have an incredible umami flavour that others have been unable to replicate. His secret ingredient is the mushrooms that grow naturally on his body. A body that appears to be living, but might actually be dead? “Hugh” isn’t actually the moving body in front of you, instead, it is the network of fungi that have animated it.
“Hugh” tries his best to keep this a secret, and while his ability with a makeup brush is better than most, it is not perfect. If people look close enough they might notice his sullen cheeks and pale skin. He also has strange mannerisms and unusual ways of speaking, giving clues that he might not actually be what he says he is.
It is unclear how long they have been living in this basement, they were just “there” at some point. Maybe people forgot or maybe he is older than any of the current occupants.
He is seen as a weird but mostly harmless housemate. A bit like a spider living in your shed. Slightly unsettling, but not doing you any direct harm, and they keep the bugs away.
