Homebrew Cactusfolk Species Details

The Cactusfolk are a young culture, born just after the plane got opened and magic seeped through the cracks in the multiverse.

This event, known as the Thunder (hence the name of the plane) gave life to much of the cacti of the plane, allowing them for sentient thought and free movement.

Curiously, they do maintain their memories from before they gained sentience, creating a feeling of community and brotherhood among many cacti from the very moment they were given consciousness.

Their culture revolves heavily around nature, seeing other, non-sentient plants as their siblings, thus consuming them in any way is one of the highest taboos.
