Plant Elves

Plant Elves by Stone Gargoyle

Plant elves are a strange race of beings akin to elves and faerie folk, which have bodies made up of plantlike cells. Whether this resulted from an enchantment or strange evolution cannot be said, for their origins are lost in the mists of time. Perhaps they evolved from ents. Whatever the case, they are fairly tall people with pointed ears, tan barklike skin and green leaves in place of hair. Reproduction is accomplished like plants, with pollen from the males being carried by insects or the wind to the females, who then produce acorns which drop to the ground and sprout up with infants inside plant pods.
