Glien Elf

The **Glien Elf** is one of the native races of Glies and a subrace of Elf.

## Characteristics

Glien Elves still have typical elven features such as elongated ears, but they are more attuned with nature than their Kalkateshian equivalents, to the point of having their skin infused with different types of wood. This infusion can often look displaced, and it is usually easy to see where the skin looks more human, or more wooden. It almost looks like "the tree growing on them is... like a virus." They are more person than tree, and can grow features such as branches, vines, bamboo shoots, leaves, flowers and even fruit.

There are three types of Glien elves: Whitewood, Greenwood and Reedwood.

## Trivia

* When Glien elves were first introduced, they could produce Heartfruit. This fruit was produced from female elves' chests, and could be harvested. This mechanic/idea was later removed, and harvesting the fruit from a Glien elf would now be the equivalent to amputating them.
