James Shroomicus McToad III, more commonly known as "Shroomy", is the mascot for the fan-game company, Black Diamond Fiction.
Personality and Personal Life
In his early appearences, Shroomy was a well mannered, gentlemanly toad. He is very fond of his nephew, Toad, and is good friends with Toadsworth. He is adventurous, also with a strong passion for justice, but also somewhat egotistical. Besides being Black Diamond Fiction's mascot, Shroomy travels around different worlds in search of ideas for new video game ideas based on real events. He lives in a fancy condo in Fan City in Fantendo, while also having a vacation home in the Hyrulian countryside. He has met with Mario on many occasions, often interviewing him about his adventures. He is also the self proclaimed Founder, President, Vice-President, Manager, Programmer, Art Designer, and Story Writer of Black Diamond Games, though he does barely any of these jobs.
In Shroomy: The Game, as well as his more recent appearances, his personality is somewhat different from other games. In the game, he is quite a bit more selfish and egotistical than in previous games. He is also very sarcastic, as well as being kind of careless, not paying attention to what he is doing when he inadvertantly creates Code. He is enormously arrogant, greedy, and dishonest. Despite his many personallity flaws in the game, his passion for good still shines through. Despite this, his demeanor is still gentlemanly, just less so.

Shroomy wears a black tuxedo with a yellow bow tie and cuff links. He has a black cap with yellow spots to match Black Diamond's colors. He has yellow pants and black shoes, as well as a thin mustache.
