Noble Queen Mycelia

A noble woman who also happens to be a slave driver was responsible in releasing a parasitic fungus coming from the depths of the earth. Consuming anything and everything in its path, the Queen which is no more than a collection of fungus at the time, corrupted the body of this noble woman taking on her form. Turning everything in her path into fungal rot Queen Mycelia will stop at nothing until she conquers everything and turns everyone into her slaves.

This is a reimagination of the noble woman moments before she was completely corrupted by Queen Mycelia .

She can also heal backline friendly monsters thru Triage. And lastly Rust which provides a debuff to all enemy monsters reducing their armor by 2.
