Publication history
The vegepygmy was created by Gary Gygax. It first appeared in first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in the adventure module Expedition to the Barrier Peaks (1980),[1] and was reprinted in the original Monster Manual II (1983).[2]
The vegepygmy appeared in second edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in the Monstrous Manual (1993).[3]
Ecology
A vegepygmy is created when a humanoid is slain by russet mold, the victim's body transforming into a new creature.
Typical physical characteristics
Although made of plant material, the vegepygmy, or "mold man," is humanoid in shape (though only three feet tall) and somewhat intelligent.
Alignment
A vegepygmy is usually neutral.
Society
Vegepygmies keep pets called "thornies", which are shaped like dogs but are really plant creatures as well.
