Snotlings feed on fungus, often eating as much as they can, which can lead to strange side effects, one of which is becoming fungoid. Snotlings start to become lazy and feckless and eventually vegetate at the side of the drop, running into a Snotroom or Mushling - a fungus preserving the vestige of a snotling face. These are usually eaten only on festive occasions, as they become tough and large.
