It seems really cool but I don’t understand half the words you wrote — my dnd vocabulary is kinda limited 😅
It's alright. Half of the concepts are my own, while the other half are ecology terms.
Deimatic behaviour or startle display means any pattern of bluffing behaviour in an animal that lacks strong defences, such as suddenly displaying conspicuous eyespots, to scare off or momentarily distract a predator, thus giving the prey animal an opportunity to escape. The term deimatic or dymantic originates from the Greek δειματόω (deimatóo), meaning "to frighten".
Aposematism is the advertising by an animal to potential predators that it is not worth attacking or eating.
Hmmmm alright I think that makes sense.
i guess the first idea that comes into my mind would be some kinda of brain scanning or whatever this creature can do where they look at all of the opposing creatures fears and search for the strongest match to their own fear, then they can either shapeshift into something along that thing that creates fear or creates an illusion of some sort
Idk if that makes any sense, I also don’t know if that’s even what you were asking for but hopefully it serves some use
That is really cool.
I'm now considering having him release airborne hallucinogenic spices to create "illusions" like what you are describing.
Ooooo that sounds awesome! I like to draw people’s dnd characters (funny thing, that’s actually how I got to the website to begin with, thanks gradius) so if you ever want me to try and make a visual representation I would love to!

That would be epic! I do some art myself, but it's always awesome to see someone else's interpretation of your characters! Right now I don't have much beyond him being a sort of planty WW1 soldier with bulky clothes (he's trying very hard to look scary). Let me think for a minute to give you some stuff to work with...
He almost certainly wields a trench shovel as his primary weapon, and maybe a ladle to disperse the psychoactive spices and a plant-based trench shotgun to disperse seeds. He probably has barbed-wire-like thorns growing on him for protection, maybe with some red flowers and/or leaves. He's almost assuredly absolutely filthy from laying in the trenches for so long. He might have a gas mask, but perhaps he's decided he doesn't need it because of his defenses or that he doesn't want it so he can taste things.
As a Harvest Hunter, his job is to collect ingredients from dangerous places, so he probably has some sort of container for those ingredients. Perhaps a pot to go with the ladle, or a backpack for simplicity.
I imagine him standing in a generic "standing" pose, staring dead-eyed at the viewer in a cloud of red smoke.
That's all I got.

Hey everyone! I had this art piece idea where I take people who use ddb forums and draw them in a piece all together. If anyone is interested in being in the drawing just let me know! No worries about sharing personal information, I’m just going to do it based off of your profile picture and general assumptions done by yours truly. Also I’ll look in other forums that you’ve participated in to get a feel for how you act that way I can best pose my depiction of you.
so yeah, if your interested just reply to this and let me know! If you find this a cool or fun prompt feel free to make your own version too. I’ll post my results here once I finish
