Homebrew Cactus Folk Species Details
Cactusfolk are the only known sapient species indigenous to Thunder Junction. When the omenpaths first connected to Thunder Junction, it awoken the wild magic of the plane, called Thunder. This awakening also affected some of the cacti, who became infused with this magic, often appearing as glowing blue energy; sometimes visible when cactusfolk open their mouths. This blue magic is water-like in nature, and seems connected to plants, water, and rains of Thunder Junction.
The cactusfolk are a young culture, only just beginning to explore what it means to be awake and what their place is in the world. Many cactusfolk adhere to and adopt the culture of their neighbors, while others live in cactusfolk communities such as Hardbristle.
