Fungus (Unlimited)



Fungus is one of the antagonists of Final Fantasy: Unlimited. One of the four Lords of Gaudium, Fungus is the first to provoke Kaze and the Hayakawa twins Yu and Ai. He was a general of his own homeworld, now consumed by Chaos.

Appearing as a mushroom humanoid, Fungus is always seen with a pipe in his mouth. Fungus is virtually immortal, and will always reappear after losing a fight against Kaze. This is because Fungus draws his power from his homeworld; the power of the fungi and poison. After dying, Fungus is reborn as a 1/10th miniature of himself and must wait for some time before regaining his original stature.

Fungus desires to impress Earl Tyrant, but with each losing battle the Earl lost his trust on the former general. While Fungus had a foolproof plan of defeating Kaze by using all the power from his world, the Earl had collaborated with Oscha to dispose of the useless Fungus by destroying his world. In his winning moments against Kaze, Fungus lost his power when a mysterious mold sent by Oscha through Crux began to consume his world and his powerful body. Kaze ended his life when seeing that Fungus is in pain, and in the last moments, Fungus thanked Kaze for doing so.
