= Hallownest Tribes = The land of Hallownest is populated by several groups of sentient creatures, who developed their own societies aside the Pale King's kingdom.

Fungal Tribe
The Fungals are a species of sentient mushroom-like beings, neither bugs nor plants. They took residence in the Fungal Wastes bordering both the City of Tears and the Deepnest, where they can hide among the scenery. These territorial creatures possess a hive mind and developed their own language. Both their language and the Lore Tablets they leave can be translated by wearing the Spore Shroom charm.

Fungals can evolve, from the young and inoffensive Shrumelings to the more dangerous Shrumal Warriors and Ogres. While they accepted the rule of the Kingdom of Hallownest for the prescience of the Pale King, they opposed incursions of Deepnest's beast on their territory. Like most of the kingdom, they were affected by the Infection and will attack any intruder to protect their young ones.

While they share a mushroom-like appearance and the same language, Mister Mushroom is not one of them. He has a mind of his own and his own agenda throughout Hallownest.Though the Lore Tablet in Kingdom's Edge suggests some sort of worship by the mushrooms with Mister Mushroom as the deity.

Flukes
The Flukes are a species of worm-like parasitic creatures who took over the Royal Waterways. They stay in the City's sewers for their calm and dampness, and don't venture past it. Most of the Flukes encountered are affected by the Infection. Like other infected creatures, they display violent behavior towards intruders on their territory.

Flukes are primitive, not completely mindless, but neither do they have the full ability to think. With the exception of the uninfected Fluke Hermit, they don't seem to have any other purpose other than to reproduce and grow. They also understand the concept of family. Their mother, Flukemarm, cannot move from her cave below the waterways and keeps breeding more and more Flukes. The Infection also made her noticeably angrier, enough to scare away the Fluke Hermit.

Flukes usually wander the waterways looking for anything to eat. The Fluke Hermit however lives aside with some younger Flukes in the Junk Pit. She is also the only Fluke encountered by the Knight with whom they can communicate with.
