Vargon
An unusual Mystimon, resembling more of a plant than an animal. A relatively new category, still very little is known about plant Mystimon. Vargon seems to come in many forms, most commonly puffballs. They live in wooded areas around Almahna, and have been found in a much wider variety in Olympus and the Quatrica Islands. The Fey of Olympus have known of them for ages, however have never before really considered them Mystimon. They consider them just more varieties of plants, albeit alive. However they agree with the assessment by scholars that perhaps they should be classified as such.
Vargon comes from an ancient Elvan word meaning 'Spore'. These creatures can expel spores that can cause hallucinations in people and even other Mystimon, but only those of the beast and animal varieties. For ages, Fey have harvested these spores to create ceremonial drugs, until 1573 2A, when these drugs were outlawed. However some still continue to harvest and smuggle the spores.
