Its wings buzz like a dragonfly's rather than flap like a bird's. Instead of a head, the fungaluffagus posses a large, fungous mass, pulsing violet and ultraviolet. It doesn't seem to have eyes, but can apparently still see, and has antennae-like appendages sprouted from where the creature’s neck should be, used for echolocation and/or tasting. The fungaluffagus is a symbiotic fungaloid-arthropod species, using a special enzyme to allow its animal and fungus parts to cooperate. | ||
The Fungaluffagus does not live densely packed, and must rely on light-based signals to broadcast messages to other individuals over long distances. The fungaluffagus appears to have a particularly strong mating instinct that apparently overrides many other concerns, and is especially drawn to the lights of a tricorder when place in diagnostic mode. The fungaluffagus deposits a large chrysalis containing many young - likely the babies stay safe in this structure and develop during the long day, the spawn at night to feed and mate again. | The Fungaluffagus does not live densely packed, and must rely on light-based signals to broadcast messages to other individuals over long distances.
