Homebrew Dendrobian Species Details

A race of plant-like flower-people.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 2.
Age. As a sprouting seed, the Dendrobian grow within the bulb of a particular flower for about 5 years depending on the favorability of the soil, after which they bloom into their mature state. Their bodies don't age after that but instead exhibit signs of age when they are unable to gain the nutrients they need. These signs manifest themselves as wilting vines, molting leaves and browning skin. They can live up to 750 years before returning to the earth from which they were born.
Alignment. The Dendrobian are often feral and unpredictable, as wild as the forests they live in, and as such are almost always chaotic.
Size. An Dendrobians height is anything 5 to 6 feet on average, and weigh anything from 60 to 120 pounds. Your creature size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Alraune Pollen. The Dendrobian produce a powerful pollen with an innate property pertaining to each subrace. As an action, you can release a puff of pollen in a 10-foot radius around yourself or in a 20-foot cone, forcing all creatures in range to make a Constitution saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failure, they come under an effect dependent on your subrace for 1 minute. An affected creature can repeat their saving throw each time they take damage. Once you use your pollen, you can't use it again until after you finish a long rest.
Floral Rest. Dendrobian do not need to sleep. Instead, they can root themselves in favorable soil, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day and absorbing nutrients from the soil. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. However, if the soil is not favorable you require a full 8 hours of rest to gain the equivalent of a long rest. As an action, you enter this state, rooting yourself into a patch of soft ground. While in this state your speed is reduced to 0. You can end this state, uprooting yourself as a bonus action.
Plant. Your creature type is considered to be both humanoid and plant, and you can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena. However, when you take fire damage, you are  frightened until the end of your next turn.
Natural Knowledge. As a part of the forest it is only natural for you to be knowledgeable about the wilderness. You are proficient in the Nature skill.
Languages. You understand and can speak Common and Sylvan.

Dendrobian Traits

It was then that we entered a clearing of sorts - for the first time in hours, sunlight had pierced the canopy and cast a soft light upon our surroundings. Amidst the moss sat two enormous flower bulbs. Upon approaching them, the petals had started shaking lightly before unfurling, revealing what appeared to be two humanoid women - or at least from the waist up...
