Displeased with the corruption of chaos towards negativity instead of allowing it to flow freely in both good and evil forms as chaos should, a green slaad decided to create a new slaad species to balance out the death slaadi and their grey slaad lackies. After some experimentation in tandem with human archmages, the green slaad turned itself into the first of a new breed, a life slaad. After the birth of the first life slaad, various other green slaadi became able to transform into Pink Slaadi rather than gray slaadi after a hundred years of learning, and by earning the respect of a life slaad after living a hundred years, could become life slaadi themselves. Corrupted by the positive energy plane instead of the negative one, life slaadi cherish all of life's possibilities and randomness, and only seek to produce new slaadi when their numbers become dangerously low, and even then only from those who have nothing left to live for as humanoids. In addition, they are far more welcomed by other races, as the positive energy plane grants the life slaadi altruistic goals to direct their chaotic personalities towards and holy powers akin to celestials. This lack of numbers and friendly relationship with humanoids makes life slaadi the target of much envy and bullying from death slaadi. However, one must remember that life slaadi are still slaadi, and no matter how pure their intentions and actions may seem, they are always a random chance away from doing something unpredictable, and planning around them is extremely complicated. |
