Hello, I have a question to create a mycoguardian.
To create a mycoguardian, such as a sporeborn, a ritualist can perform a ritual similar to create undead called create mycoguardian, but providing valuable parasitic fungal spores instead of black onyx. This ritual uses Fungus Lore (trained) or Nature (expert) for both the Primary Check and Secondary Checks, and lacks the Evil trait.
Is it possible to create a mycoguardian with a corpse from an undead ?
In addition to the sporeborn presented here, there are many versions of the create mycoguardian ritual for making mycoguardians other than sporeborn, such as for aquatic chytridions and so on. Some forms of mycoguardians, such as mycelial mindbores, come to be using their own unique methods and can't be created with a version of create mycoguardian.
aquatic chytridions ? abilities ?
mycelial mindbores ? abilities ?Thanks for your future answer.
A lot of this seems more like campaign questions rather than rules questions. Something that the GM of the campaign would have to answer.

I wouldn't allow it while the undead is still animating the corpse. And if you destroy the corpse in the process of killing the undead, then the body wouldn't be in very good shape.
So there are plenty of reasons for a GM to use if they decide to not allow it.
But there is nothing really wrong with allowing it either.

That statement is just to prevent people from claiming that since nothing else has been formally published, then nothing similar can possibly exist.
Basically it is an open invitation to homebrew something for your campaign. Whether that is an aquatic version of mycoguardian (whatever abilities the table decides to give them) that the players could create with the ritual, or a strange new version that the GM uses as an enemy that the players can't create.
In Mantle of Gold, there is a sporeborn skull p.46.

There is the fungus, mindless traits but no sporeborn traits and the creature has sporeborn abilities.
The creature has still langage ability.
