"A really giant patch of mushrooms that you shouldn't touch because they are bad for you."
— Rob, while discussing the set up to Woodcarvers.

Shroom Trents are large mushroom-like creatures that first appeared in the Kobold Headhunters campaign.

Characteristics

A Shroom Trent takes on the appearance of a giant mushroom, with a face on the 'stem' of the mushroom, with two eyes and a mouth. It also has one long, large arm that extends from the stem, which it can move freely to pick up or strike targets on the ground. The appearance of its lower half is unknown, but it is able to move, so it is known that it is not rooted to one spot.

Abilities

• Mist

The Shroom Trent expels a mist that covers a massive area, making it effectively inescapable for its enemies. The mist causes characters that roll multiple dice to automatically take the lowest die roll.

• Polymorph

The Shroom Trent polymorphs its target, turning them into a smaller version of the Trent. Polymorphed characters will also speak in the Trent's Mushroom Language. At the start of their turn, the target transforms back into themselves, but spawns 3 small versions of the Trent in adjacent spaces. These clones will heal the Trent if destroyed, or can be used to reform the Trent.

• Smash

The Shroom Trent slams its hand into the ground, dealing 12 damage to all targets inside a 3x3 area.

• Inhale

The Shroom Trent inhales deeply, dealing 5 damage to all targets inside its mist. This ability doesn't require a dice to be rolled.

• Separating/Reforming

When the Shroom Trent reaches half of its maximum stamina, it will break apart into many smaller clones of itself. These clones appear to have some form of collective consciousness, and can group back together to reform the Trent, although it will be smaller and have less stamina. If too many of the clones are destroyed before it can reform, however, they will stay separate.

Mushroom Language

A special language only spoken by Shroom Trents, their smaller spawn, and even other beings polymorphed into Shroom Trents. To other races, this sounds like gibberish, although the tone of what they are saying does seem to translate, as the Kobolds in Kobold Headhunters were able to understand that it was mocking them. The Shroom Trent in Kobold Headhunters liked to taunt its opponents, insulting them in this mushroom language and laughing at them.

History

Kobold Headhunters

Shortly after defeating the flock of Scrooges and cooking the body of Noxel's Squire, a Shroom Trent came out of the forest and attacked the party. It showed to be formidable enemy, but by using Burrito to distract it, and figuring out the power of its mist on the Kobolds, they were able to defeat it.

Woodcarvers

The Shroom Trent's fungus had infected the forest surrounding Waldon, so The Woodcarvers were tasked with taking out the Trent itself to save the forest. Upon battling it, it split many times, but as the Trent grew smaller and smaller, one of its remaining pieces began to quickly grow in size, larger than it even was before. However, as it appeared to be too large to defeat, Golestandt flew overhead and breathed death onto the land below, killing the Shroom Trent instantly.

Notable Examples

• A Shroom Trent appeared as a Supporter Event boss in Kobold Headhunters.
• A Shroom Trent plagued the forest of Waldon in Woodcarvers, and was taken out by Michael Langstrom and his team of lumberjacks.

Trivia

• The Shroom Trent is the first character to have demonstrated an ability which did not require a die to be rolled.
• The Shroom Trent that appeared in Kobold Headhunters was intended to appear in the same encounter as the Scrooges. However, Rob delayed it and had a break between the two because he "needed to pee."
• Even though Golestandt's breath converted many of the townsfolk of Waldon into Ageless, the Shroom Trent itself wasn't converted, as it has no skeleton.
