Et tu, Brute?
One might call foul on Brute Bonnet, since obviously Pokeballs weren't invented back in dinosaur times, but I think from the Pokedex entries it's clear that Foongus and Amoongus just happen to look like that, and in fact the modern Pokeball design was inspired by their pattern, not the other way around. Yeah, they use their pattern for mimicry, but it says it doesn't even work on Pokemon, because obviously it wouldn't. They're adapting to humans, and trying to lure them in, instead.
So I'm okay with Brother Bruti here, it's like spiders evolving smiley-faces for no particular reason other than to prove God has a sense of humor.
And you know what, take away the green mossy fringe, and I'd really like the Brute Root! I think adding legs and a tail helps stability Amoongus's design in a neat way, turning him into some sort of centaur mushroom soldier thing. The fanged beak doesn't hurt, either. It's just that drapery I could do without.
Overall: 7/10
