Frederik Fungi
Frederik Fungi is a grad student at Undergrowth University. He works with Professor Fungi (no relation) on tree root communication networks and is hoping to get a grant to implement a wildfire warning system. Forests need to burn occasionally, of course, but the folks of the Mistyvale Mountains would like a little more warning so they can protect their homes.
Frederik Fungi is knit from the bottom up. The fringe beard is knit and unravelled - so there’s no cutting and attaching a fringe.
