Mushbooms are a species of basic enemies in the Mana games. They first appear in Final Fantasy Adventure and have been depicted in every installment ever since. Mushbooms are living mushrooms who have a pink cap with a few large, red hearts on them.

The fungus monster is one of the franchise's most recognizable regular enemy, generally only bested by the Rabite.

General Information

Physical Description

Mushbooms are stout mushroom creatures sporting a usually pink cap adorned with red hearts. Their body are beige and their face are usually perpetually struck with a surprised expression, with agape mouths. They possess stubby arms and legs and have a sluggish, clumsy gait. They usually attack by bashing at their target, sometimes by spinning very fast by doing a handstand on their cap. Their final way of hindering their prey is by spewing sleeping spores. They are usually found buried in the ground with only their cap visible, and upon getting close they pop out and attack.

Attributes

The fungus is commonly seen in locations housing rich fertile soil and lush greenery, such as valleys, forests, and glades. They can also be occasionally found deep underground or near bodies of water.

Like other plant monsters, the Mushboom is often associated with Dryad and is therefore sometimes weak to Luna or Aura. The mushroom is also rarely strong against Gnome.

Variants

Mushbooms have a few variants mostly exclusive to some intstallments, with the Mushgloom being the exception.

  • Introduced in Secret of Mana, Mushglooms are the most common variant, appearing in Trials of Mana, Sword of Mana, Children of Mana, Rise of Mana, and Echoes of Mana. They usually sport blue caps & bodies and are much more proficient with Dryad magic than their weaker brethren.
  • The Dark Mushboom can be fought in Sword of Mana after defeating 1,000 regular Mushbooms, just like any other enemies other than bosses. They replace their weaker variant and can deal devastating attacks.

History

Final Fantasy Adventure

In Final Fantasy Adventure, Mushbooms are one of the weakest enemies, along with Rabites. They are only encountered at areas near Topple. Their only action is to walk around aimlessly.

Secret of Mana

“Mushboom (Tree) -- Sprays a fainting powder.”
Secret of Mana Official Game Secrets, (page 162)

In Secret of Mana, Mushbooms are encountered at the surrounding areas of Potos and Pandora and later at Gaia's Navel. Mushbooms are stronger than in Final Fantasy Adventure, and can perform a few attacks, which includes kicking, spinning on their cap, and opening up their back to release spores, which can inflict Sleep on their target. Mushrooms are a part of the Tree Group.[1]

There is a town named Matango that is solely inhabited by friendly Mushbooms, all of whom have differently colored mushroom caps than the enemies themselves. Their area is ruled over by King Truffle.

Legend of Mana

“Plant -- STR: Shade, Dryad ; WK: Wisp, Aura -- A cute mushroom that attacks by kicking, and by thowing its own cap.”
