Homebrew The Pickle Species Details
The pickle is a pickle with arms and legs, with vinegar for blood. They are intelligent and capable of speech. They are also stronger than normal humans, and with a better constitution.
The pickle is said to have been created when a mad scientist who was crazy about pickles, tried to bring them to life to be her companions. After many years of experimentation, she finally succeeded, but died of old age not long after. The pickles were left on their own to survive in the world. The pickles set up a home in a nearby swamp, living away from humans for centuries. Some pickles were bored of their life, and decided to explore beyond the swamp, into the human world.
