Homebrew Traptrix Species Details
Traptrix are a group of shape-shifting plants that have gained sentience through the magic of there native land and the God of nature. They have an affinity for deception and luring people into traps before they consume them or use them for ritualistic purposes. They have a rivalry with the Yuan-Ti over territories as well as victims. Not much is known about the traptrix as scholars and adventurers who went to discover more ended up in there traps without even knowing they had encountered a traptrix until there final moments. But it is believed what they live around 300 years on average and that there true form, at least that of the Traptrix Infiltrator (the playable traptrix) is that of a humanoid figure made of vines and flowers. Also traptrix infiltrators do not always go into towns looking to infiltrate, some wish simply start new lives and join the society of the other races. However they tend not to reveal themselves as traptrix due to people believing that they are simply there to lure them to a trap and kill them and if they are found out to be traptrix they are typically ran out of town for fear of it all being a trap but some have been welcomed into the town with open arms and trust though this is fairly rare.
