I'm no fan of the Mindflayer either. But the Matangos (and Ropers, and Parasite Slimes) have disgusting parasites going into people's bodies, spreading and infecting their insides and controlling them.

The Matango adds two extra-creepy factors: 1.-They go into the brain, and parasites into the brain creeps most people big time  and 2.-Parasitic fungi do infect people with weakened immune systems in real life, and cause some nasty, disgusting diseases.

When I read the Roper and Matango entries, they remind me of some real parasitic diseases, and that is a gigantic turn off for me.

If KC had made women turn into Matangos due to Demonic Energy and have men become sex addicts due to Demonic Energy, just like most other Mamonos, I would have no problem with them. They would be nothing but funny-shaped Succubi. It's the parasite thing that creeps me out.
