Mushroom
- "You've all laughed at me for years! Well, now I'm the one with the power! I'm going to own my own village soon, wait and see! Everyone will do everything for me, like they do for the dragonmancers!"
- — Mushroom to Thyme, Rowan, Leaf, and Cranberry, Dragonslayer
Mushroom was an adult male human who was introduced in Dragonslayer. He was Thyme's twin brother. He died due to his head being bitten off by Queen Scarlet while escaping after stealing SkyWing treasure.
Description
Mushroom was described as more square-jawed, taller, and a lot gloomier than Thyme.[1] Mushroom was also described as short and pale, with a furry head. He had two long, thin legs and two dangling arms that ended in "floppy, clawless talons." He reached barely as high as Clay's shoulder.[2]
Personality
Mushroom was skeptical,[3] gloomy, jealous, and tended to complain whenever he was tired.[1] Leaf mentioned that it was likely for Mushroom to mess things up.[4] When Thyme tried to save Mushroom from the SkyWings, Mushroom flung his bag of treasure at his brother, leaving him defenseless against the dragons.[5]
Biography
