Homebrew Bananian Species Details

Physical Description

Bananians are amazingly sentient and completely mobile bananas. Human-like limbs protrude from their banana bodies. Bananians do not have perceptible faces. However, this seems to not matter to them as they can still communicate and see without issues. It is believed they do have some ocular organ at their "front", which is probably why they are still able to be affected by being blinded. They use their stem at the top of their head to receive vibrations and pheromones from other bananians. Their "underskin", or flesh, beneath their peel is just like a normal banana. If people killed one, they could actually eat it and receive all the normal benefits as if they ate a normal banana.

When bananians are born, they are green and turn yellow as they mature. They can use their peels as weapons when needed by throwing them in front of their enemies. The peels themselves are extremely slippery and the bananians can regrow their skin after being thrown.

History     bananians were once humans, according to legend. It is believed that, at some point, an incident of radioactive leakage happened in their village.But they now accept that they are bananas and regret being humans. The leakage caused an excess of calcium to be built up within the anatomy of the humans, causing them to slowly turn into bananas over generations. It is thus believed this specific chemical of radiation was potassium. The ones who didn’t turn into bananians feared for their safety and banished the bananians to a set of isolated islands far from the village. The name of the set of islands on which the bananians were banished to was appropriately changed to Bananian Islands

Society      Few know what happens on the Bananian Islands, though people fear going near them for fear of being turned into bananians. This is a rather erroneous and harmful belief that bananians still emit the same radiation as the stuff which transfigured them. In reality, bananaians live peaceful lives and often gather for celebrations. They have a strong trust in one another and often share their possessions with other bananians in a communal fashion. Banannians also know how to forage for food and have many community farms throughout the islands. While they are classified as herbs, bananians can consume meat, though they prefer plant matter. They have also created their own banana language, called "Bananian", named after the islands. this language can only be spoken by bananians, as it makes use of the unique pheromones emitted and received by bananian stems.
