Homebrew Spriggan Species Details

Spriggans are made of either vines or root-like branches in a vaguely humanoid shape. These branches coil up and surround the spriggan's chest, which glows with magical essence. This essence permeates throughout the plant body and allows for free movement an manipulation of limbs. The branches come up into a vague face like shape, then up into antler-like branches. Spriggans are generally slim and lanky. Their hands are large and pointed, though the branches are often spaced. Spriggans tend to be light tan in color while they glow green, though they can vary in wood color and glowing color depending on their habitat location.
