Homebrew Seedling Species Details

Also known as treefolk, seedlings are humanoids born from the earth itself, resembling a mix between a human and a treant. Their skin is coated with sturdy bark, their hair either long and wispy like leaves of a willow or dense as the top of an oak tree, and with pure white eyes. Members of this race stand as immovable protectors of nature, having spawned from the magic of the old gods to act in service of the wild. Most seedlings are of the strong and silent type, preferring for their actions to speak for themselves.

Credits to Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Racial Handbook by Supreme Slayer for the concept.
