Shroombears (タケグマ, Takeguma) are creatures which can be found at the 4th Layer of the Abyss.[1]
Description[]
Shroombears are small mammals with beady eyes, large noses, stocky bodies, short legs, and a long thin tail. They have a symbiotic relationship with Water-shrooms, which can be found growing on their backs. When the Shroombears grow weak, the Water-shrooms release their stored nutrients into the body of their Shroombear host, restoring it to health.[2]
Shroombear flesh is edible and has been described as being dark in color.[3] Since the main series has only seen Reg's disastrous attempt to prepare the meat, it is unknown whether it can be made palatable or not.[4]
Trivia[]
- Their danger classification is left unmentioned, but they seem to lack offensive capability and displayed docility after being shoved inside a container for transport by Reg.[1]
- Water-shrooms were a key part in Riko's recovery, after being attacked by the Orb Piercer. Nanachi grafted the shrooms onto her wound, so that they would aid in the healing process.[2]
