Professor Shroom

Professor Shroom is a humanoid red mushroom, who wears a monocle and a wine red vest. He is the only known survivor from a raid that devastated the population of the tribe from which he hailed.

Origin
A long time ago, on a small island where Tortuga now is located, there was a small tribe of Mushroom People, who lived peacefully—eating food they grew from the mycelium and built houses made out of the massive mushrooms that grew on the island.

One day, as the Professor was working on making mushroom stew in his basement, he heard screams coming from above as bandits invaded the settlement and harvested the island of all the mushrooms and mycelium on the island that they could find.

Once the the raid was over, Professor Shroom climbed out of his bunker to see the devastation the bandits had wrought on the island of his people—all the houses either completely gone or on fire, and the bodies of his tribesmen decapitated. Seeing no hope in continuing his life, he decides to move out from the island, leaving the ruins of his old home behind as he looks for a new place to live.
