Homebrew Awakened Shrub Species Details

You are a small bush, fern or plant awoken by primordial forces. The Awakened Shrubs are Creatures that Are pulled from the slumber of nature by the means of magic, most of the time this occurs when a Druid notices the spark of primordial magic that the Treents have when they awake from old trees. But shrubs do not last as long as trees so there steps to enlightenment are supported with magic that allows them to rise to there full potential. Most adventurers know of twig blights and others of the sorts, they are those wrought from the blood of a vampire. They are almost the same as the awakened shrubs but they have a thirst for blood, the awakened shrubs thirst for sun and water instead. They are mostly peaceful but can become hostile when either their grove or any nature is defiled. Naturally, this makes them on edge when in civilization. Awakened Shrubs are small humanoids made from a shrub. They have the same shrub-like form on top of them, making them less humanoid and much more like their unawakened state or they can have their shrub on their back. Their eyes either can glow an array of colors or just have an eye like structure.
