Mashu

Mashu is a Matango, a psuedohuman sub-species of dryad with fungal qualities. While very similar to Dryads in that they are fully capable of photosynthesis and their "legs" act as roots that they can embed into the ground to absorb soil nutrients. Matango emit spores that may upset those that have asthma or related allergies. Sometimes these spores also possess hallucinogenic properties.
