Homebrew Endogrowth Species Details

The Endogrowth are a race of long lost humans who have mutated and adapted with age to fit the environment around them. They stay distant from other races out of their fear of conflict with one another. Endogrowth prefer to stay by them selves following their own rules, but if someone else or another Endogrowth has different principles they go by then chances are they wont get along.

Plants come to life.

 

Endogrowths can come in many shapes and sizes. As they grow they automatically adapt to whatever environment they live in, giving them features of their respective home. Features like these can include variations in height, change in skin or hair color, change in skin or hair texture, color of the eyes, or the sizes of arms and legs. This makes each and every endogrowth different and unique to one another. Endogrowths also have evolved to look like plants as well. As Endogrowths evolved, they ended up adapting to hide rather to fight, making them experts at hiding in plain sight if they need to. As endogrowths have evolved and merged with the plants around them, their needs for survival have changed as well. This includes different needs for water and food as well as an ability to utilize sunlight.

Endogrowth Personality

Endogrowth live in solitude by choice. Staying distant from other creatures is how they survive as despite the friendly looks they are very opinionated.

Endogrowths are not one to hide how they feel. If they have a problem with you they will let you know. If they belive something different than you, chances are they will let you know. This causes then to be social outcasts in the world which is the main reason they stay away from others.

Endogrowths can be male, female, neither, or any thing else. As they have grown to adapt plants into their genome, the mostly genderless life of a plant has been adapted to as well.

In a time of stress or pain, Endogrowths show their emotion in their appearance. Dulled colors or lesser stature will be apparent in endogrowths who are not doing so well. They behave similar to how a plant molts.
