Plump Helmet Men are walking plump helmet creatures, that live in caverns. Upon death they yield "Plump Helmet Man plump helmet man tissue". They are non-hostile, blind, and are relatively easy to kill. You can't butcher Plump Helmet Men, but their body parts can be eaten raw (a unique trait). This can lead to the amusing situation of a hungry soldier killing a plump helmet man and devouring part of his carcass on the spot.
Plump helmet men are known for their clever jokes and games, as well as their innocent, almost childlike nature. This had led to them being universally beloved by all sentient creatures of the world, as well as dwarves, who find them both sweeter and more succulent than the farm-grown variety. For years dwarves have been trying to find a way to brew these majestic creatures alive, but the scientific effort has been frustrated by the tendency of dwarven brewers to pounce on any plump helmet man they see and eat their way through the still-living mycanoid in an orgy of mushroom juice and drool.
