Mycete & Mycelord - Fakemon Concept
A two-stage fungal Pokémon inspired by Stropharia aeruginosa and the aesthetics of a self-made dandy.
Mycete
The Fungus Pokémon. A Poison- and Psychic-type.
Mycete live in strict colonies. Groups of Mycete use their psychic abilities to form a collective consciousness, all striving toward a single goal: survival. In some legends, encountering a wild Mycete away from its colony is said to be an omen of coming change.
Mycelord
When a Mycete develops ambitions that go against the interests of its colony, it willingly leaves the group and may evolve into Mycelord.
This Pokémon craves to be the center of attention. In its pursuit of the spotlight, it once began imitating a fashionable style of the past, ultimately making that image its own forever. Despite its sturdy body, its ego is fragile - its confidence crumbles the moment it is ignored
