Homebrew Atatsu Species Details
With gaunt faces, charcoal skin, and coarse crimson petals,
atatsu are a race of sentient plants believed by many to be
harbingers of death. This reputation is not totally unfound-
ed, for atatsu are physiologically sympathetic; their bodies
reverberate in harmony with the fleeting spirit of creatures
that die in their presence, taking on traits of the deceased
for a short time. The slaughter of a mighty beast is felt by its
hunters as a surge of physical strength, and the passing of a
sage as a transcendent moment of heightened wisdom. As a
result, atatsu have a complex relationship with death; to die
in their presence is to pass a glimpse of oneself to another,
for a short time.
