Mmm... I think it's time to give the Matango some love. I just hope she'll be treated with a bit more love and respect then on MGU. I don't want to count how many times I wanted to smack someone from wanting to "purge" her kind from the land or try to find around her spores.
Now my relations with this girl started out as pity love but grew into a passionate love. Long story short, she started to grow on me as time ticked on.
Still, no matter how romantic I twist the profile I always come to one question?
Do mushroom men take care of themselves or get sucked dry by mushrooms in less then a week?

[Oersted]

Mmm... I think it's time to give the Matango some love. I just hope she'll be treated with a bit more love and respect then on MGU.

Respect I can give, but love...no way.
Her way of getting "food" is exceptionally effective, and for that she has my respect.

Alp bro, NO ONE will EVER like the Matango. It's just a fact'o life. She's not capable of love, only the drive to get food. Oh, and I'm sure we can't forget: "SHE BREATHES SPORES THAT END A GUY'S LIFE OF FREEDOM AS HE KNOWS IT".

Speak for yourself. I like the Matango. As a matter of fact I think she's just about in the top 20 of my favorites. Despite her methods being over the top, she's still cute and adorable. Personally, the way I see it, maybe the spores need a compatible spirit energy to grow before taking over the man. The spores could be just a way to find the one destined for them since they can't move from one spot. It's possible we don't know enough about them because people treat them so badly and fear them.

[theOneSin]

Another question; The profile says she releases spores "periodically". How often do you think that would be? I'm guessing hourly.

Howzat when the profile implies that they spore whatever dude comes around an' that happens EVERY time?

[dragonstryke58]

Like I said, maybe the person making the profile assumes that all men spored by the matango get turned into mushroom men. I think if this was the case, the matango would find herself easily overwhelmed by the sheer number of mushroom men she creates, especially because she periodically releases spores and releases spores during sex. So what if in fact the spores need specific conditions in which to grow. One of these conditions could feasibly be that the matango's spores actually need a compatible spirit energy in order to grow. While not romantic, it does coincide with the fact that all MGs in this setting prefer to be monogamous.

[theOneSin]

Well... Wasn't the Matango written before MGE had a real setting?
Edit: I feel like I need to explain myself a bit here. If the Matango was written before the setting made monster girls monogamous, that means she could have as many mushroom men she wants.

Spoiler: show

Because if you have yourself along with a bunch of mushrooms sapping from a guy, you want back ups just in case he drops dead

[dragonstryke58]

Which even more reinforces my point that it's possible we don't know enough or even know some false information about her since she hasn't received an update to bring her into the current setting. In the current setting, it could be like people hate her and fear her, not wanting to take time to understand her like the other MGs that were updated.

Well, we already know that MGs can't kill humans that way from the setting information. Therefore, having a village worth of back-ups is just not sensible.

I love this loophole, I'm going to use it for every harpy now. ALL of them were made before the settings! Lucky me. *disregards settings post siren entry*

Okay... I'll just shut up and get back to my dreams of mushroom snuggling

[FlashGrenade0]

Eh, I don't think it's so much pure hatred rather than overwhelming caution. I mean I'm sure MOST normal guys wouldn't want to be in the same place doin' the same thing for the rest'o their lives once dem spores do their shit.

Pretty much this. If I saw one, even if I were already taken by another monster girl, I'd still run away, with Haste in effect, carrying said monster girl with me, of course. I don't hate the Matango, but she's just not for me.

Wait whoa, whoa, whoa. Back-ups? What's up with that? Matangoes can hold multiple dudes hostage now?

[dragonstryke58]

Hm...I wonder if Matangos can be something like Queen Slimes. The picture for her profile shows two girls, but they are both connected at the same base. Does that mean they are individuals part of a collective entity or two purely separate individuals?

[Jack]

Hmm... that sounds good, actually.

I guess that they're two separates with a small modicum of common mind. Just a little. Like some people say that twins share some of their minds, and some have even a small bit of mind-language going between them. That may be their case, they're not part of one, but they understand each other better than others understand them; ie.: they have an idea on what's on the other's mind.

Back at the MGU, I actually talked with someone about how a small garden of waiting Matangos could be an awesome lovely find. Following this logic, like having 4 or 5, like, infesting the same tree would make an entire family mentally-linked. Makes me shiver from a weird excitement just to think of it... don't ask why, but I'd envy the man with such luck.

Perhaps because common mind is a fetish for me too? Well, the Legion from Castlevania, as gross as it is in concept, is one of my favorite villains... I dunno.

[dragonstryke58]

You paint an awfully lovely (and somewhat perverted) picture in my mind. 4 or 5 Matangos...all for one guy...lucky bastard (or doomed depending on your point of view).

[GorgonMage]

Brrrr they are really scary! The idea of something growing through your flesh, slowing taking you over is horrifying.

Such a shame. She's really pretty.

[Subliminal]

Greetings

Brrrr they are really scary! The idea of something growing through your flesh, slowing taking you over is horrifying.

The worst part is that somewhere in the Fallen Maiden Book it is hinted that
they may be able to move around. Although this could be due to having attached
themselves to other mobile creatures...

Yours.
