Hailing from the Underdark in a cave derived from a location known as, "The Pit", Red-Cap grew up in an unnamed fungal forest a few hours travel from the entrance. Red-Cap had always been an outcast in the Myconid society. The four colors of the spore factions in his homeland are blue, green, purple, and yellow. Red-Cap however, grew up with a different colored cap than his peers. Myconid society is similar to most Underdark societies in that the deformed and strange are either outcasts or killed. Red-Cap's father was a high rank in the yellow house. For being so primitive in their speech, it is surprising to most that learn of this Myconid culture (no pun intended), as they maintain a caste system. While Red-Cap will always be an outcast to the Myconids, he hopes one day to grow strong, produce potent spores, and be the king of his own tribe of Red Myconids.
