I put forth that perhaps it should be possible for the character to be in a state of partly-fungal-zombied.  
Higher strength, lowered Intelligence, Dexterity, and Perception, on top of a few traits.

[size=4pt]I will name my character George of the fungal…

GEORGE, GEORGE, GEORGE OF THE FUNGAL WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREEFID![/size]

It’s so hard to focus on anything these days. Your main concern is expanding, it’s all the matters at the end of the day, really.

Why would you want to focus on anything else? The fungus provides all, the fungus shelters and heals and loves. Expand.

There was some discussion about this in the mutations thread, I don’t know if anyone has done any work on it, though.

I came up with it first!

Although I am fairly sure someone can lay claim to the fact that they came up with my idea 10 years ago, before cataclysm was a concept, and provide proof to back it up.

MUTCAT\_MARLOSS is kinda the fungus mutation. It’s back-burnered because I’d have to do mapgen and critter work to do a proper job of it, and I’d rather get post-Thresholds sorted first.
