Zuggtmoy

Lady of Rot and Decay

From Wizard's of the Coast's Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes and The Dungeoncast's episode on Zuggtmoy

Demonprincess Zuggtmoy (a.k.a. The Queen of Rot and Decay)

Demon Queen of Fungi and Lady of Rot and Decay, Zuggtmoy is one of two rulers of the 222nd layer of the Abyss, Shedaklah. An agent of chaos, the Lady of Spores wishes to subsume the multiverse in mycelial growths, returning all else that lives to death, and from them forming a great fungal organism.  

Cycle Unbalanced

While decay and decomposition are normal aspects of reality (much as many mortals would like to deny it), and mushrooms are an integral part of many ecosystems, Zuggtmoy represents these aspects taken to an unhealthy extreme.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Cruel, calculating, and emotionless. She hate oozes, and concotcs elaborate schemes to foil her enemies (nameily Jubilex, the Demonlord of Ooze) and advance her plans. Zuggtmoy wishes to subsume the world into a great mycelial network. Once all is dead, their bodies shall be processed and decomposed. Her foul mockery of life will rule the multiverse, and ultimately be controlled by her as a huge fungal colony.

Physical Description

Body Features

Being made entirely of demonic mushrooms, Zuggtmoy can, given enough time, shape her apperance however she likes. Usually, she takes the form of a mass of mushrooms that, from the waist up, resembles a skeletal and somewhat hauntingly beautiful woman, with draping mycelia and lichen as clothing and masses of shelf mushrooms as hair. This is not her true form (if she has one), and at times she instead takes the guise of a massive cap mushroom with thick legs, or even of a far more humanoid entity. No matter the form, though, her pallet is made up of deep purples, foul greens, and bunrt oranges.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

In 214 IA, Zuggtmoy recruited a warlock, Fishcod who went on to spread Her spores to many corpses. They continued to be a useful servant, retrieving a Decanter of Endless Water from the Cult of the Crushing Wave from the Isle of the Abbey at Zuggtmoy's behest.

Accomplishments & Achievements

In 207 IA, the Demon Queen of Spores somehow gained influence over the Drowned Forest, which was likely related to it flooding.
