abilities

On a 9+ Hit, the target's Mundane weapon, armor, or item in their possession corrodes. On a Critical Hit, a Magnificent weapon, armor, or item corrodes.

On a Critical Hit, the target is ENGULFED, completely covered by the mung's oozy body. If the target is Defeated by being ENGULFED, the mung consumes all non-Magic items.
vulnerabilities
Gelatinous goos gain Advantage on Attacks and Dread against mung.
social
Mung are predators by nature, and desire to consume things and expand their colonies. They care little for the dealings of surface dwellers, but may show interest in Underlands politics. Because mung cannot easily speak Folk tongue, Checks to Parley with them suffer Disadvantage, except for gelatinous goo PCs. However, the rift between mung and gelatinous goos is age old and deep, tainted by millenia of constant warring. Negotiations between mung and gelatinous goos always have a Limited Outcome.
combat
Mung swarm their enemies. If there are any gelatinous goos present, they are attacked first. Otherwise, the Bruisers and Champions get first dibs and pounce on the enemies with the most and best items, while the rest disperse among the others.
defeat
Mung do not retreat until their alpha mung is Defeated. However, there is no way for anyone other than a gelatinous goo to recognize who the alpha mung is. If the alpha mung is Defeated, the others scatter and slither into the cracks of the earth, where some may regroup into smaller tribes.
victory
Mung do not tend to eat people unless they are truly ravenous, preferring to eat items instead. The mung will glady consume all of the PCs' items in exchange for their lives before driving them from the area.
