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, pink 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, as Life Slaadi are far more welcomed by other races for their altruistic goals and holy powers, pink slaadi on the path to become Life Slaadi are similarly welcomed. However, one must remember that pink 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. |
