APPEARANCE: Slender and lithe, flower mephits are humanoid-shaped bundles of green stems, leaves and roots that blossom with colourful blooms each day. This means they’re likely to look different each time you see them, as different flowers come in and out of season. They also change through the day. In the morning, their blooms are budding and fresh, in the evening they are wilting and dropping petals. Hidden between the petals are sharp thorns, and their claws exude a poisonous sticky sap that causes persistent pain after a scratch.
PERSONALITY: People-pleasing, vain, resentful. Flower mephits might look pretty, but unfortunately their personalities are just as poisonous as those of other mephits. They are painfully vain, and spend all their time preening and pruning to make sure their blossoms are just so. They also seem to find it impossible to say ‘no’ to anything as they can’t bear to disappoint, and will do anything to be popular. This means they suppress their own opinions and become increasingly bitter over time.
MEANING: A flower mephit is one of the more polite messages that can be sent, as the formal offering of peace, but it’s also a warning that the peace is delicate. It can also be a warning that the recipient has been fooled by something or someone who is not what they seem.
STATS: [ PF 2e ]
