Homebrew Floran Species Details

Florans are clusters of sentient vegetation that take a humanoid form. They have different properties and personalities depending on the plants they are comprised of, but they tend to have a wood-like quality about their "skin". They are known as peaceful, evil hating and remarkably intelligent beings. They are limited speech-wise, but still enjoy trying to communicate with other living beings. They despise demons and orcs strongly, due to their unpredictable and bloodthirsty nature.
