Tree people

Spriggans appear humanoid, but in place of flesh and blood, they have a thin layer of bark covering springy wood. Spriggans’ eyes shine like green candle flames, and they have small gaps for mouths that move enough to let them speak, but they have no noses nor ears. In place of hair, crests of leafy branches rise from the tops of their heads and sprout from their bodies.

While rooted, though, spriggans look like ordinary woody shrubs, with sparse greenery and plenty of thorns to dissuade creatures from disturbing them. Although immobile in this state, spriggans remain aware of their surroundings and can pull themselves free to deal with any threats.
