{{refstart}}Vegepygmies, also known as moldies, mold folk, or mold men,<ref name="mm1e">{{Cite Pub|Monstrous Manual|pages=256}} (2e) Licensed: &copy; TSR Inc. {{fairuc}}.</ref> were fungus creatures that lived in dark forests or underground, hunting for sustenance and spreading the spores from which they reproduced. They were spawned from dead humanoids or giants or beasts that were killed by a type of mold commonly known as russet mold.<ref name="vgtm.196197">{{Cite Pub|Volo's Guide to Monsters|pages=196–197}} Licensed: &copy; Wizards of the Coast {{fairuc}}.</ref><br />

Vegepygmies stood between 2 to 4.5 feet (0.61 to 1.4 meters) tall with muscular frames covered in plant matter skin. Their coloration depended on their environment, ranging from brown and green skin in wooded areas, gray and black skin underground, or sometimes a moldy blue and white. Their eyes were normally white, lidless, and did not appear to have pupils, and naturally grew a dull brown topknot. They had heavy wrinkles and lacked noses. Lengthy lines of tendrils, similar to hair cover the creatures, ending in a topknot at their head and flowing regardless of the presence of wind. Their hands end in thorn-like claws.<ref name="dungeon201">{{cite|author=Teos Abadia|date=2021-04|work=The Ecology of the Vegepygmy|periodical=Dungeon|issue=201|publisher=Wizards of the Coast|pages=1-7}} (4e) Licensed: &copy; Wizards of the Coast {{fairuc}}.</ref><br />
<br />
Vegepygmies did not have sexes or reproductive organs. Typical vegepygmy reproduction involved the infection of other creatures. Whether via russet mold or a Chief, vegepygmy spores were toxic and could be used to infect animal life via inhalation. Once killed, the corpse would become a new vegepygmy according to its size, with beast corpses resulting in thornies. The process was painful and slowly weakened a victim until death. This wasn't required however, as the death of a sufficiently old vegepygmy would create two smaller individuals. Memories from an ancestral line could be passed down through generations, with even ancient memories resurfacing in new vegepygmy.<ref name="dungeon201" /><br />
<br />
Russet mold itself was created when vegepygmy spores gathered into patches on nearby terrain.<ref name="dungeon201" />{{refend|<ref name="frwvegepygmy">{{cite|accessdate=2022-02-26|title=Vegepygmy|website=Forgotten Realms Wiki|url=https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Vegepygmy?so=search}} Licensed: [[CC-BY-SA]].</ref>}}<br />
