| An infant Arboreal Magic Plant |
Magical plants come in all shapes and sizes, from Bonsai trees to Daisies. From wearing Pots, to being covered in thorns or bark. They are always small in stature, but Arboreal plants tend to be thicker and broader while Potted plants tend to be smaller and more colorful. Thorny plants are taller and lankier than their other types and are usually shades of green.
History[edit]
The history of how these plants came into the lab of a mad magician, then later became sentient is unknown, but now they are free to wander the world and adventure as they please, or to secretly decorate someone's home, to which the owners may never know.
Society[edit]
As there are only supposed to be a few in existence, there isn't much to note on their societal habits. They lean towards a more neutral stance on society. Though Potted plants tend to be more chaotic and methodical in nature, while Arboreals tend to be more lawful and chill. Thorny plants can swing either way but tend to be shy.
Magical Plant Names[edit]
