MushroomMask

"Let's see how you fight under hallucinogenics!"

- MushroomMask MushroomMask is the Nightmare Five's resident genius, and one of the Brotherhood of Shadowblood's oldest members, used by StrongestPotato, just like his N5 teammates

Personality
Sycophantic and educate, MushroomMask is extremely loyal to the Brotherhood's Founding Fathers, though some say he has a few things to talk with ChameleonMask, he's intelligent and cunning, thinking on how he can put his brains to the test every day.

History
Little is known from MushroomMask, asides that he was amongst the earliest members of the BoS and that he has an axe to grind with ChameleonMask. Originating from China, MushroomMask is credited as one of the chief scientific advisors of the BoS, and a voluntary member of the Nightmare Five, unofficially being behind most of their advancements alongside KumoMask.

Powers and Abilities

 * Plague Spores: MushroomMask is capable of generating multi-purpose spores with varied properties, amongst these we count:
 * Flame Spores: Highly flammable, these spores detonate after a set period of time passes once clinged, causing explosions on whatever they latched to
 * Bound Spores: These spores turn into solid stone as soon as they cling onto something, causing additional weight, their removal can be complicated by surgical means.
 * Micro Spores: Capable of shrinking whatever they latch upon, the effect lasts about half an hour, it's worth noting the target has to be entirely covered in order to fully shrink, else the spores will only compact whatever part they latched to
 * Mirage Spores: When latched, they enter the target's blood torrent, causing them hallucinations for as long as an hour, these hallucinations are hyperrealistic, in the sense they'll genuinely believe what's in front of them.
 * Stun Spores: When latched, these spores will cause paralysis of whatever muscles they happen to stick upon
 * And much more!
 * Mossstone Barrier: By driving his fists into the ground, he's capable of creating a barrier about as tall as him, and as thick as a house wall, this barrier can stand some punishment and serves him as protection.
 * Toxic Tangles: By generating spores around his arms, he's capable of firing two long tendrils that serve him as chains/whips, these tangles will wrap onto whatever they latch to, and are capable of transferring any kind of Spores to a target
 * Shadow Manifest: One of the founders of the technique, he has perfected it to the point he can show up from behind walls.

Weaknesses and Flaws

 * Light Energy: Being a Shadowblood, he's still relatively weak to light-based attacks, though in his case it seems ambiguous, as he doesn't suffer as much as the rest.
 * Water: What we do know though, is that his body cannot fight underwater, by some unexplained reason, it'll start stiffening, thus requiring him to stay out of the waters.
 * Spores are Useless on Metal: His spores can only affect organic targets, asides the explosions caused by the Flame Spores, thus rendering them entirely useless, and reducing him to use his Mossstone Barrier and Toxic Tangles in order to subsist.
 * His Secret: Though little is known of it, ChameleonMask sure loves extorsionating him with it

Trivia

 * He is the first Fungus-themed Shadowblood to have ever been featured.
 * He is quite reliable on literature, particularly enjoying the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, as well as Alejandro Dumas, William Shakespeare, and Miguel de Cervantes.
 * He loves raising bugs, as a passtime.
 * He seems to be the most responisble out of the Nightmare Five
 * He often beta-tests his spores on the other N5 members
