Homebrew Fruit Folk Species Details

Lore/description - Usually found in forest, stores, and gardens these creatures take the form of any fruit native to the area they’re from. Whenever anyone or anything tries to take a bite of this fatal fruit it’ll spring to life biting the thing trying to eat it. When you are bitten by a werefruit you have 24 hours to stop the transformation. The only way to stop the transformation is by casting the spell light on yourself or have a friend use it on you. When the spell is cast  two small worm-like creatures exit the bite mark and shrivel up in the light. The height of a werefruit that did not become one due to a bite is four feet when not hidden as a fruit. If you are bitten and do not cast the spell in time then you look the same except there has to be at least one aspect of the fruit you transform left. If a werefruit bites a creature that is 10ft or taller it is completely immune to the bite. A werefruit lives to be about 500 years old maturing 4.

 

Behavior - Werefruits live in many small colonies far from each other. Each colony communicates using a complex system of reflecting light but speaks in the most common language of where they’re from. Werefruits are omniverse; each week the colony sends out two werefruits one to gather veggies and the other to hunt prey. Despite looking like fruits they actually have adapted to grow shells and skin to make them look like fruit. While mainly spotted  in gardens, markets, and forest the colony lives in large underground cities made of dirt, rocks and recycled materials.
