Homebrew Floralings Species Details
Floralings are rare and in some ways a mystery, but from what scholars understand they are generally what happens when a soul reincarnates directly into the land or the land it's self-manifests sentience, this usually occurs when there is enough belief and arcane power flowing through the world which accumulates at a focal point. Currently there are three distinct types of floralings, The Culling, Dryture, and Blightshades.
Floralings can reproduce with each other but not with other races.
They eat mostly meat, and while they may eat plants/veggies/etc. from time to time, they always make sure to pick out the seeds.
Dryture
The Dryture are seen as guardians of nature. They are most often created through the strong presence of a druid circle maintaining the land. The dryture tend to have strong connection to nature, especially the land they are born from. Generally, Dryture don't seek adventure, unless something drives them away from their home or someone, they care about asks for help as they are very protective of those that also tend the land they live on.
Appearance: Drytures tend to have shades of green, yellow or brown skin however then can have any color as long as it is found in nature. Drytures also tend to have small custers of leafs, twigs/bark or maybe flowers sprouting somewhere from their body. Some Drytures have flora for hair, however not all, but any facial hair grown by a Dryture is always made of flora. Dryture ear tips are shaped like leaves or flower petals. Drytures may have humanoid feet but many of their feet resemble stumps of a tree truck or vines and roots of a plant. Drytures feet are notoriously sensitive, and they despise traditional footwear.
Culling
Cullings are generally born from the labors of humanoid love, being the manifestation of crops and land fertility. Cullings are natural born farmers and tend to travel the land helping those in need with their crops for the season, Cullings will generally roam in small groups with each other when possible.
Appearance: The most notable feature about Cullings is their heads, where a normal humanoid head would be, they have some sort of fruit or vegetable there based on the crop where the manifested. Cullings do not have visible ears or noses, but their mouth and eyes are visible on the head. Other than this Cullings have a wide variety of appearances as long as they are mostly humanoid.
Blightshades
Blightshades are cursed creatures, generally manifesting when the land is in peril or dire striates. While not inherently evil, due to their appearance and sickly nature many most try to steer clear of these beings. Blightshades often find themselves secluded unless in the largest of cities or they are lucky enough to be accepted into a more welcoming environment such as a spore druid circle. Blightshides can either represent the danger poisonous flora the land uses to attempts to shield its self or the sickly, corrupted blight in which it was born from.
Appearance: Blightshade skin is often a very desaturated version of their Dryture counterpart. They often have veins that are extremely visible and juxtapose the color of their skin. They often have dying or deadly flora sprouting from somewhere on their skin. Blightshades often have tails, horns or plants sprouting from their back resembling wings that are a visual representation of their curse or poison. Ex. A tail of tree bark with rot flowing through it or a crown of poison thorns emerging from their head.
