Her description from T1-4 is as follows:

"Zuggtmoy's natural form is bulbous. She resemble a puffball mushroom with a toadstool growing on top. Four elephantine legs with suckered bottoms support the spherical body. The globular torso is flattened at the bottom and bulges at its equator, so that the legs reach to a bit over 3-foot height, the body another 30 inches higher, but with a horizontal diameter of nearly five feet. The mushroom-stem neck is two feet long, capped by a head which appears to have squashed humanoid features. The eyes are round, black and blank-looking.

Zuggtmoy can extrude a pair of three-foot long pseudopodial arms from either hemisphere of her body, at will. These growths can extend opposing digits if desired.

The body coloration is variable, as Zuggtmoy is able to change it to suit her surroundings, though she is typically of a pale grayish-white or brownish-white color, the head slightly darker. Color can be moss green, dull brown, red-orange, mottled purple, etc... ranging the whole spectrum of colors possible to fungi growths. Body texture and odor are likewise obviously fungoid. In all, Zuggtmoy is revolting to behold and disgusting to smell. Blotchy patches of mold, smut, and blight cover her body. Her strngth is great and her gross weight high, despite her fungoid nature -- over 2,000 pounds."

"In her human form, appearing as an old and feeble crone..."

There is also a picture of her in fungoid state on Pg# 124 of T1-4

In the novel Artifact of Evil she is said to be able to take on the form of a ravishing woman. "Zuggtmoy too had altered from a horrid harridan to a breathtaking beauty. As voluptuous as her companion, Zuggtmoy's assumed form was as dark as Iggwilv's was golden." Pg# 329

Dec 26, 2003 20:14:16 Sorry, your not going to like this answer. On page 124 of T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil, there is a picture of her.

I my view, basically a fat round potato (pits, dirt and all), on two potato legs with a stretchy neck and a bald round potato head.

Dec 27, 2003 1:12:01 The recent game Temple of Elemental Evil maintains many of Zuggytmoy's fungal features (having a stalk and pseudopods) which managing to make her look cool. You should be able to find a picture of her on the Troika website from the game...

Btw, be sure the read a longer story that starts after those. See what happens what happens when you give two wannabe-adventurers access to intelligent chaotic-evil artifacts

Dec 27, 2003 9:11:32 The ToEE game deff made her look really cool without discarding any fungal / moss relations.

I'd attempt to dig up a screenshot of the game myself as mentioned above, coldpenguin.

Like he said, a puffball. Ever seen one?

The crpg version -it looked cool, but she was basically a very tall humanlike woman, blue and green, with a bunch of whiplike tentacles. Leaking fluid like rotten vegetables do. Nothing like a puffball, but better for descriptive and fear inspiring I suppose.
