#### The Fungal Spirit
Wardens of groves around the realm. They are solitary fungal forms brought to life by the Ame'ril. Most can be found around a forest of different fungi that the Kinokin tend to and protect. For most of their existence they stay within the confines of these mushroom fields that they wander within as they grow and spread their spores. They do not mind travelers who stumble upon their fields so long as they do no harm to the fungi that grow within. They are honorable, honest, loyal, and compassionate.

#### Druid Companions

Sometimes a Kinokin will make a contract with a Druid to become a warden of their grove, this is seen as a great honor is respect to both the Kinokin and the Druid who manages to make such a contract between them. When one of the Kinokin makes this pact with a Druid they stay with them for the rest of their life. Some Kinokin are known to live as long as the Druids that they follow.
