They always grow into a Fume-shroom (Changed my mind about Purdie growing to a Spore-shroom) then possibly to Gloom-shroom (this happens rarely though). Well, how about the other Puff-shrooms? Maybe you could have that just run within Purdie's bloodline, but not the whole race. That's why I restricted Ewen's abilities as standard powers his family possesses, & not powers that every Jack O' Lantern can possess (for example, the ability to permanently take over a zombie without using mini-pumpkins but one's own body is an ability exclusive to the Myers.) The other Puff-shrooms get to have a normal friendly life, just like how Purdie is doing. No adult Puff-shroom exist - they are certain to grow into Fume-shroom. Unless like a female Spore-shroom is somehow born, there might be a Puff-shroom who is somehow an adult. No, I meant to say that we can't dictate the stats of a plant race as a whole. We can lock the stats of our own species/machines (e.g. our special character types), but official plants? I don't think we can, since it will mean owning the whole race. We can't own the Ghost Pepper species, we cannot own every Sun-shroom, & therefore, we can't dictate the stats of the races as a whole.

We cannot say that all Jack O' Lanterns have the same powers Ewen & his family possess. We cannot say that there are no male Perfume-shrooms (if there can be male Birdos in the Mario Series (it's confirmed that there are male Birdos but they also put on makeup - in short, they are gay - & usually, female Birdos appear, then male Electric Blueberries & female Pepper-pults can appear, no matter how awkward). I take back my earlier claim about Shrinking Violets, therefore, it means I cannot say that all Shrinking Violetstake 2000 years to mature (Heck, I might retcon that...but the personality? I guess that's shown as general enough, but if someone wants to create a happy SV or adult Puff-shrooms or a Thyme Warp that speaks normally, then let them have that even if it seems weird, because, in the end, none of us own the official types of plants & zombies).

We can only lock the stats of our own characters. The fact that no female Spore-shroom can exist can only hold true for Leo's Spore-shrooms (Sporo & his people), not everyone elses (therefore, he can't say that your character cannot exist...but we have no problem with that since he acknowledged Purdie's mom's presence anyway). The fact that no Puff-shrooms can remain that way up to adulthood can only hold true for your Puff-shrooms (well, it's not like I'm making adult Puff-shrooms, but yeah). The fact that a Jack O' Lantern can take over a zombie by crushing & replacing its head can only hold true for Ewen & his family, & that is a trait that I cannot extend to all other Jack O' Lanterns.

Anyway, I repeat, we can't lock a race's traits, since none of us really own the official plants.
