Homebrew Briarling Species Details
Some claim this race of sentient tree-like entities are created when fey magic mixes with the natural surroundings of the Prime Material plane while other believe they are creations produced by experimentation on unwilling human from Fey magics from an era long since past. Either way, they are a relatively unknown race that prefers to stay hidden in a space between the Prime Material Plane and the Fey Wilds. While the majority of these creatures prefer to settle quickly in their surrounding finding comfort from what is readily familiar, there are a small few who prefer to branch out searching new lands to explore.
Briarlings are a race without gender making pairing and mating a unique ritual for their kind. After choosing a mate they co-pollinate when strong feelings cause the respective members to bloom bright foliage over their forms. The result is a large fruit that will gestate on over a period of one to three months after which it can be planted in fertile soil. Given some time, the seed will begin to breach the earth producing a young Briarling bearing the markings of its two parents. It is theorized that the type of soil the seed is planted in could affect the Briarling's genetic makeup
