Homebrew Deku Scrub (Business) Species Details

An adult deku scrub stands at a height ranging between roughly 2 and 4 feet, and weighs somewhere between 25 and 50 pounds. Scrubs have skin comprised of tree-like bark, and they feature outgrowths of leaves used to absorb sunlight and perform a process similar to photosynthesis. Nearly all deku scrubs have some form of leaves or shrubbery growing from atop their heads, though many of them style it in ways other than the typical wild look. Most also grow leaves below their neck and across their torsos, which other races might mistake for clothing. Though rare, deku scrubs can also grow flower petals alongside or in place of leaves—and this is usually considered a feminine quality.
