PRESS SPACE OR CLICK THE LIL GUYS First DTA entree ive done haghajsahs- Ill just get right to it: I love this design so much and i rlly want to win it >:] i think i did good with adding more details, I hope you don't mind how I strayed a bit from the original :sob: ===-{ Charatcer Info }-=== Name: Mungus, original name was Sal (BACKSTORY) Species: Mutated Shroom Maine Coon Cat Age: 55 human years (BACKSTORY) Gender: Genderfluid, prefers she/her Sexuality: Asexual, questioning ===-{ Backstory }-=== (TW: Mention of knives/needles, animal abuse) Sal lived a normal life as a feral cat roaming the forest and the small city nearby, which she would often visit for free food from humans and any mice or birds she could catch. She was a very social cat and loved the attention she would receive from humans and being around other cats. One day, Sal found a peculiarly set piece of food in the forest nearby. She was suspicious of the clearly set food and went closer to inspect it when she suddenly found herself entwined in a net trap. Sal tried escaping the trap when a strangely dressed human in a lab coat jumped out from wherever they were hiding. Instead of helping her like Sal thought, they instead threw her into a cage and into the back of a van. Terrified and confused, Sal still kept trying to escape. She eventually made it to some sort of facility where she could hear other animals, whimpering and yelping, trapped. She was put in a small, white room strapped to a metal table with bright lights shining on her. More humans dressed in lab coats talked amongst each other while holding surgical-like tools and vials. Sal, still struggling and confused, was cut, poked, and opened all while being wide awake. She yowled and screeched trying to fight back whatever the humans in labcoats were doing to her. They stuck a needle with a syringe with a strange liquid that smelled similar to... some sort of fungus? Sal was stitched up, thrown in a cage, and left by herself to process what had just happened. She was in horrible pain, and whatever the liquid was didn't make it better. She just laid down and tried resting away the pain and betrayal she felt, crying to sleep... When Sal woke up, she felt different. Very different. The humans in lab coats were examining her body and poking at her with a small metal rod. She hissed and fought the humans until she was able to break free from their grasp. She ran out from a small vent she saw slightly unhinged and broke free, running for her life into the woods. She ran for the small city, hoping to find help from the humans. But instead of being greeted with happy faces, their faces showed fear and disgust. They kicked and swatted Sal away until she finally found a safe place to hide. She didn't understand. She didn't know what was going on, why this was happening, why everyone was so disgusted by her, until she saw her reflection in a puddle... Sal spent her life in solitude in the forest, relying on whatever she could catch. The fungus growing on her kept her alive for so long in her new lonely life she wished it didn't. Her new look gave her a new nickname for the humans. The Mungus creature. She hated it. She missed being pet, missed being around other cats and humans without scaring them away, missed being normal and happy, missed being loved... ===-{ Abilities }-=== Bioluminescence, immortality(?), quick regeneration, infected spore clouds, longer stamina ==-{ Personality }-=== Mongus aka Sal is a cuddly, social butterfly who loves being around others and making friends with everyone she meets, loving to be in charge of whatever needs her leadership. Ever since the Infection and being forced to live a solitary life, she became more introverted, skittish, submissive, and shy. She is very cautious and doesn't like to trust new things she may encounter. She doesn't sleep often and will always look and be tired. If she opened up to a new person, she'd have attachment and trust issues, not wanting to be alone for more than 30 minutes. Mungus would be more herself around them and seek them for protection. She doesn't like being confrontational Edit: ITS 3AM WAAAAAAAAAAA
Artist Notes/Additional stuff: She is very cuddly, and i think she would probably latch onto someone for hours on end- RANDOM THING BUT SHE ALSO LOVES LEMON MERINGUE PIE DONT ASK- she is a foodie in general <3 she likes climbing. a lot. but HAATES swimming, she floats but like- she hates the feeling of being wet XP. if she feels uncomfortable she'll start doing some small whimper/squeal thing? idk- she loves anything close to Minecraft OST or lofi in general <3 As for her white and blue spore spots, idc what you do with them just KEEP THEM THERE. AND THE EYE VEIN THINGIES. shes VERY fluffy and shes a lot bigger than a marine coon after the Infection so MAKE HER FLUFFY. The blue spots on her are apart of the fungus infection (her coat was originally the blue-grey and dark grey spots as you can see) which she can emit the toxic spores :p danger shroom kitty ok I'm done rambling i just love making characters as you can tell. Also she smells like mushrooms and wet leaves OK IM DONE Have both the reference pic and my art :] Hope you likeeeeeeeee I just noticed I mispelled the name ignore that </3
