Matango

Matangos are shy mushroom women that can be found in the Forest Dungeon. They have the ability to cause, , and in combat.

In-Game Description
"A naked woman with pale, bone white skin, red eyes, and long silvery hair and a large red mushroom cap with large white spots on her head that almost looks like a large hat. Her average sized breasts are entirely smooth and do not appear to have nipples. Her sizeable butt is perfectly smooth. Her legs end in a fibrous stalk just below knee level, and smaller mushrooms like the one on her head sprout out from it."

Encyclopedia Entry
"Solitary mushroom women that use a variety of spores to entice and incapacitate their prey. Contrary to popular belief, however, not all kinds of matangos possess the ability to transform humans into mushroom people after repeated contact, but women should still take care to not be turned into a matango themselves if they encounter them."

"An interesting note about matango is that they, unlike most other kinds of plant girls, are capable of movement, but the circumstances that bring about such behavior are rare and typically are due to lack of nutrients or, if desperate enough, to chase after men."

"REMINDER: Just because some matangos are not very dangerous (namely those found around the forest area or nearby caves), DOES NOT mean that all matangos are not dangerous, and EXTREME care should be taken if any matango are encountered when exploring beyond the mountains of Lucidia!"

Strategy
Matangos rely on causing a variety of debuffs on the player, slowly dwindling them down and making them easier to defeat. Make sure to keep your Energy up if you are inflicted with, or you are guaranteed to lose one Spirit. Matangos are weak to Magic skills but even more so to Seduction skills, making them optimal in dealing with them.

Matango Ambush
While exploring the Forest Dungeon, you come across a Matango spewing her spores in a trap. If you opt to sleep with this Matango and keep going at it until you no longer have the option to choose to do so, your penis will receive a mild transformation after you spend an entire week going at it, altering the head to be more mushroom-like and enlarging it, and granting the "Mushroom Head" perk. It has a few benefits such as increasing Virility and damage from Penetrating type attacks, but it also gives a large +3 boost to the Sex Fetish and makes it so that you are unable to turn down Matango traps when encountered/makes you like Matango more.

As some players may not appreciate the slight physical alteration, it can be removed by Lillian as well should an unwitting player be transformed and wish to undo said transformation. Notably, having the perk allows the player to dominate the Toxic Matangos who attempt to ambush you at the Caverns.

Loss
Losing to a Matango in any stance will lead her to attempt to gently push you away, only for spores to affect you and make you want nothing more than have sex with her, leading to a long scene where you fuck until you are both satisfied. You are sent back to Town and gain 5 Cock and 1 Mouth sensitivity.

Trivia

 * The Matango's art was provided by kalayara.
 * Sofia hints that the Matango encountered by the player is likely the same one every time, as they possess a teleportation system in the Forest Dungeon in order to reach intruders.
 * Notably, the Matango possesses relationship progress in her event, though it currently does nothing. She is the only generic monster to have it.
