Homebrew Wood-Blood Species Details

Experimentation

Wood-Bloods are highly valued in the medical field, as their thick green blood appears to have regenerative effects.  They are often trapped and dragged from their homeland and drained of all their blood, and used for construction or burning after.  This has made the them hateful of any humans they come into contact with.

Forest Wardens

Wood-Bloods are the protectors of the forest from which they are born.  They do not need to eat, they only need water, reducing what they take from the forest.  They are companions to all animals that naturally dwell in their area, be it a hunter, or prey.
