I'll admit when I first saw the Myconids, I thought "neat"! Yet, I can't help but think, we've animated fixture/placeables before...such as Thoramind's chest and candelabra. For the Myconids, could we not simply and perhaps a bit more realistically animate one of the existing mushroom placeables? I think it would look a little less "weird" (although mushroom men are inherently weird).

Not doable.

The animated "placeables" in Thoramind's are in fact creature models. Nothing comparable exists for mushrooms/myconids.
