Trivia[edit]

  • The mushroom mage's Japanese name, Mage Matango (マージマタンゴ) is derived from the 1963 Japanese horror film Matango about a group of castaways on an island who are slowly transformed into mushrooms. It was released in the United States in 1963 under the name Attack of the Mushroom People.
