Zapbo
Zapbo is an Electric and Nature-type creo that looks like a rumpled cat with several enormous toadstools growing out of its back.
Most predators take one look at that fluffy fur and assume Zapbo will be easy pickings. They have no idea what the mushrooms can do.
Biology
Zapbo's vibrant yellow coloring makes it easy to spot. The mushrooms on its back are a breeding ground for poisonous fungi whose spores are potent enough to paralyze a predator. One whiff is all it takes for the spores to reach a predator's lungs and interfere with its breathing and circulation, leaving it immobile.
Zapbo builds immunity to the fungi growing on its back by eating them. Along with lichen and moss, it eats a variety of poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms.
In a heavy downpour, those toadstools conveniently expand like an umbrella, forming an awning that keeps Zapbo mostly dry.
Zapbo prefers dank, damp places where fungi grow well. It usually tucks itself beneath decomposing logs, clods of earth at the base of uprooted trees, and carpets of leaf litter. It does not mind the damp, but it hates being caught in heavy rain.
