'''<big>Small Myconic</big>'''

Consisting of infested goblins, kobolds, dwarves and others, the small myconics are the most numerous of the mobile mycons, swarming over the land, expelling spores and drowning their enemies in waves of fungal matter. With little regard for individual lives, the small myconics will wedge themselves into small spaces or scale barricades with their own destroyed bodies.

'''<big><big>Myconic Soldiers</big></big>'''

When the myconic infestation comes across a problem that it can’t solve with brute force, it creates soldiers. Well-preserved infested or new infectees can be manipulated, the growth of the fungus controlled and measured to leave them with more of their faculties intact that one would normally expect. These beings wield weapons and spells, if they had the talent beforehand. These special troops are used to handle special problems, such as fortresses, well-equipped soldiers standing in the path of the infection, or bands of adventurers striking into the heart of myconic territory.

'''<big><big>Myconic Nodes</big></big>'''

The nodes are the control points of the myconic infection. From the nodes flows the control and power of the mycons. They house brain tissue and ganglia, giving them incredible intelligence and the ability to cast magic. All mycons are connected, and the nodes give the commands. This distributed intelligence allows them to share the ability to cast spells. Any mycon connected to an active node gains the ability to use the magic of the node. The mycons generally grow nodes on the front lines, expanding the range of their controlled soldiers and infested. The magical power they wield is considerable and can turn the tide of a battle.
