Flosfurati (5e Race)

## **Flosfurati**

"Hey, there... Don't you know trusting a flower is the best thing you can do, in life? I promise I won't hurt you, really!"

-Nivall, Flosfurati Serial Killer, to his last victim

### Physical Description

Flosfurati are when a parasitic flower consumes the entire (or part of) the head of a creature, giving them a variety of appearances, however, the vines in the flower makes them always between 4 and 8 feet tall. The flowers themselves appear like sunflowers, however, instead of a brown center, they have either a white, black, purple, yellow, or blue center, and have a face on it. The face has simple, black or white eyes, and on the sides of their head is a few petals, which are either black, white, purple, yellow, or green.

### History

Flosfurati have not bothered with telling their history to other races, which, due to their arrogance, after many died out, it has become unknown to all but the most ancient of their kind. Those ancient enough to still remember hold themselves with higher arrogance than even the most boastful dragons, causing them to never share the secrets of their history with others. However, some say that they were originally a disease or normal parasite, which spread to flowers, and then the flowers grew sentience from magic, reproducing rapidly, to form a "race" of beings.

### Society

Flosfurati adapt the society of their hosts, which can range from being more intelligent wolves that speak Sylvan and stand on hind legs, in a pack, or can be as advanced as being an actual humanoid.

### Relationships

Flosfurati are jovial by nature, however, they typically have darker intentions than most would suspect, causing races that are unknowing of them to perceive them as friends, and races that are more knowledgeable to fear or hate them.

### Flosfurati Names

Flosfurati possess the knowledge of the creature that is their host within the past 30 days, causing them to almost always know the name of their host, or at least the race. Due to this, they enjoy twisting names around, either reversing races or names as their own, or taking their own spin on it, such as John becoming Jhon, or Dwarf becoming Frawd. The plants themselves do not have genders, however, they either ignore gender entirely, or adapt the gender of their host.
