Homebrew Floran Species Details

Diet

The Florans have a unique digestive system. Being plant based creatures they actually cannot digest plants or vegetables of any kind correctly. Attempting to consume more than a handfull of plant matter usually ends in either extemely volatile vomitting or death in some cases. Florans can only eat meat.

Flower

Most Florans grow a flower on the top of their heads. The flowers range vastly in color, shape, and size. The large flower on their head grows into them as they reach adulthood. The flower is similar to head hair on other races. Florans cannot be bald permanently. The flower will always grow back in the exact same way so long as the individual does not die. There is no way of changing the flower or it's color permanently once it is determined. Additionally large leaflets cover portions of their body. These are not clothes and are apart of their body. Florans do not typically wear traditional clothing but may sometimes adorn skulls and bones of creatures they've successfully hunted

Sex and Gender

The Florans actually do not have genders. Biologically they are all the same sex. Even so most Florans choose to adapt and grow sexually dimorphic physical traits and male/female identities if they choose so.

Relations

It is speculated that the reason for the Floran's hostility towards other races and animals derives from the way they see meat. Meat is the only thing they are capable of consuming and being mostly plant matter caused a warped perspective to be embedded into the culture itself. Florans do not see creatures made of meat as "alive" in the same way they are and feel no remorse towards hunting any other living thing so long as it is made of meat. 

Technology

The Florans have been native to the Shivering Isles for a long time. Despite their race's age they have only recently begun speaking and socializing as a uniformed people. Their settlements are tribal-like make of animal skin and whatever else they could scavenge. They are a primative race using primitive tools and weapons such as spears and axes.

Language

Florans speak a strange version of common they simply call Floran. It's actually the exact same as common. Word for word. They like to think it's different due to the way they pronounce some words. Most Florans naturally hisss their ssssilibantsss. With atleast 3 s's.

Tribes

A decent amount of Florans have set up tribes throughout the shivering isles. They prefer to settle in jungle or dense plant-filled environments. Floran tribes' only form of government is power through strength. The strongest most powerful Floran is deemed the Greenfinger. Only one Greenfinger can exist at a time in any given tribe. Greenfingers are decided through birth of a Greenfnger child or through battler if another Floran were to challenge the current Greenfinger.
