The mushroom parent. Spogres tower over their Fungun children, and their bullet clouds are correspondingly large.

Spogres are enemies that appear in Enter the Gungeon. They are the large parents of the diminutive Fungun enemies.

Behaviour

Spogres trudge ploddingly towards the player, periodically pausing to release a giant cloud of harmful bullet-spores around themselves. These spores vary in size and speed, but eventually come to a stop, their differences in initial speed resulting in a large and disorganised cloud. After coming to a stop, these spores will drift slightly.

Some spores in this cloud, after coming to a stop, will launch themselves towards the player after a random delay. Clouds will dissipate after a set time in the air.

Other Appearances

• The sleeve for the 2022 special edition vinyl release of the Enter the Gungeon soundtrack includes an illustration of what appears to be a Spogre by artist Joseph Harmon.

Notes

• Because Spogres already have an on-death bullet attack, they are unaffected by the Final Attack challenge modifier.
• The description of Funguns and Spogres as parent and child may be a reference to the Small Mushroom People and Large Mushroom People from Dark Souls. These enemies are commonly called 'Mushroom Parents' and 'Mushroom Children' by the Dark Souls community.
• The name Spogre is a portmanteau of the words spore and ogre.
• The Ammonomicon quote "Blast Caps" is a reference to blasting caps, a device designed to detonate a high explosive charge by releasing a powerful shockwave via the use of a smaller, more easily triggered explosive charge.
• Spogres do not appear in Exit the Gungeon, but are still referenced in the Diginomicon description of the Fungun.
