Mad Hatter

Encyclopedia Entry
A race exclusive to "Wonderland," also called "Boushiya."

The progenitor of this race was a "Matango" that was suddenly mutated, gaining high intelligence due to a spell cast by the "Queen of Hearts" when she was mad at being ignored. However, the Matango in question wasn't ignoring the queen, but was simply engrossed in having sex with her husband, so she did not hear her at all.

In the same way as the matango species, they are human women that transformed into monsters after being parasitically infected by a giant mushroom. As for the thoughts triggered by the mushroom, instead of becoming vague as a Matango would, they instead gain greater clarity. Their human intellect and reasoning remains intact, while their mind becomes even faster. Their calm bearing makes them seem greater than humans intelligence. However, the inside of their highly intelligent head is, of course, a bunch of mushrooms. It's mainly overflowing with lewd thoughts about having sex with men, and the monster-like words of love are mainly released from their lips. At a glance, they seem unbecoming of a denizen of Wonderland, but just like the other inhabitants of Wonderland, they have sex-crazed values, so they're just "silent lunatics."

However, no matter how sensual their words and conduct appear to be, they never lose the atmosphere of elegance that shrouds them. Even though their words are lewd, they are spoken in such a calm, cool tone that it's as if they were speaking of the weather. When they gesture towards a man's body by extending their hand, it's very natural, elegant even. For them, it's only natural that all their thoughts and actions are centered around love and pleasure with men. When they speak suavely saying such things as "Why, naturally, I'd like to spend my time joined with you right?" as if ordinarily there were no need to even mention it, and because of this, men are unable to notice their desire and madness.

Since they're unable to notice it even when they're on the verge of being attacked, the men end up having sex with them. Their brand of insanity is so "natural-looking" that just from observing their behavior one would almost be deluded into thinking it was normal.

Additionally, the spores released by the mushroom in their head cause a severe bewitching effect in those who inhale them, making them acknowledge the madness and abnormality of Wonderland. Meanwhile, their consciousness and thoughts gain clarity, so the person who inhaled them isn't even aware of the self changes brought about by the spores. After touching their madness and getting dragged in by this manner, once a man tastes their sticky hypha-like body, "normal" will be overwritten and he'll be stained into a denizen of Wonderland, appropriate as their husband.

It's possible for them to freely remove the giant mushroom growing in their head almost as if it were a hat, and by having sex and obtaining essence with the hat off, it's possible for them to create a duplicate hat or mushroom. A curious thing is that if men or other monsters wear them they change into normal hats, made from felt or cloth. However, when a human woman puts them on, the mushroom spreads its roots into her head and parasitically infects her, sending a huge amount of spores inside her head and making it full of mushrooms. Once her mushroom-filled head is filled with perverse thoughts, no matter what she thinks otherwise, it will always lead into something obscene, and she'll desire a man's "mushroom." And then, as if pulled along by that, her heart and body will change into another Mad Hatter.
