Glendale (5e Race)
Glendale[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Glendales are a race of humanoid plants, resembling tall, slender and leafy bipeds. Their skin is made of green bark, and their hair consists of thin, leafy fronds that serve as photosynthetic organs. Their eyes are shaped like almonds and usually have bright colors, ranging from yellow to red. Despite their plant-like appearance, Glendales are not immune to poison or other effects that would harm plants.
History[edit]
Glendales were created long ago by druids who sought to create a race of plant-like beings that could serve as protectors of the forests. They were originally created to be living weapons, but their creators soon realized that they were more than that. Over time, Glendales have developed a deep connection to nature and have become protectors of the forests, guardians of the wild and friends of all creatures that dwell within.
Society[edit]
Glendales are reclusive by nature and prefer the company of their own kind and other creatures of the forest. They have a strong connection to nature and are often found living in secluded groves, deep in the heart of a forest. They are fiercely protective of their homes and will go to great lengths to defend them against any intruders.
