Florasapiens

Florasapiens are a race of highly intelligent bipedal aliens that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero 2: Worlds Clashing. They are found on the planet Kepler 22b and are one of the most bizarre alien races in the book because instead of being a race of animals they are actually a highly evolved race born from plants and vegetation. They are quite friendly though and come in a wide variety of different species branching into several sub categories. Florasapiens also have gone as far enough as to create entire cities and even their own technology.

## Species Members

### Flora Terrestris Erectus:

the Flora Erectus are the base prehistoric species that became everything else similar to Homo Erectus only they started out more like tadpoles. they resemble somewhat scrawny humans with brown soil-like skin with a large leaf on the back of their bald head and no legs and instead a tadpole tail which drags along the ground. Flora Erectus are much like salamanders and that they move slowly because they get all the food they want from the home star which gives their photosynthesizing bodies some glucose and carbon dioxide. Flora Terrestris Erectus by the time we see it have become almost extinct due to rapid evolutionary advantages.

### Common Florasapien:

Common Florasapien is the name given to Florasapiens that are some kind of common plant such as flowers or basic leaves. These Florasapiens are found common among each other and sometimes have beautiful features like petaled hair which their dandruff is pollen that flies off during a breeze. since most plants on this planet are similar biologically to earth plants, this means that this planet's flowers all have at least a Florasapien counterpart.

### Imperator Florasapien:

The Imperator Florasapiens are some of the more intellectual and strong Florasapiens because they are similar to trees instead of flowers. They have hair similar to the trees they are based from and bark-like skin which depending on the species tells you which tree they came from. They can reach ages of nearly 800 years or more due to their longitude of living. Florasapiens sometimes give rise to Fruitysapiens after deploying their spores and seeds from their organs which either can be a Fruitysapien or another Imperator Florasapien depending on the seed's parent. Imperator Florasapiens are pretty intelligent and even have learned great magic.

### Fruitysapien:

Fruitysapiens are a subspecies of the Imperator Florasapien which are sometimes born from the seeds they drop onto the ground during the spring. These can develop from a fruit into an embryo-hatchling egg which splits the fruit open and releases the infant fruitysapien. Fruitysapiens are very diverse and are resistant to cold and hot temperatures unlike earth fruit which just bruise when dropped. A fruitysapien is also able to be poisonous to predators depending on their species such as the Nightshade berry fruitysapiens.

### Veggiesapiens:

Contrast to Fruitysapiens, Veggiesapiens are a subspecies of Common Florasapiens which are in the form of humanoid alien vegetables such as 8'8 foot tall carrots and 2'3 foot pea people that are usually born in triplets. Veggiesapiens are special because some have certain healthy features in them a human would get when consuming a base veggie. these can include Excellent eyesight for Carrots just to name an example. Veggiesapiens usually have underground cities in wide open plains.

### Mycelisapiens:

Despite the creatures being called Florasapiens, Mycelisapiens are not plants. they are an intensely adaptive species of fungus and mushrooms which are not only strong minded but also have a telekinetic connection to each other like Zombie Pigmen. They are usually very weak and fragile in the bodily structure but make up for it in powerful mind based skills and manipulations.

### Exopiens:

Exopiens are an incredibly advanced evolution of the Mycelisapiens that Have evolved so much that they are able to create machines that can travel through space as well as have started to create their own dyson sphere around their homestar made of very specialized bamboo and almost iron wood. Exopiens actually live more outside the planet in the ring system which all those asteroids circling the planet are actually entire cities with Exopiens making new plans for space travel. Its quite clear that Florasapiens are very distant from Exopiens but they are able to communicate with huge Lilypad like satellites. that get messages from them to make sure that there isn't some threat coming their way. Exopiens are quite powerful and despite having an average height of 3.5 feet are the most intelligent species on this world right next to The Towering One which actually no longer can control them as their intelligence is too high to be manipulated. Exopiens have been seen to control normal mushrooms not just from Kepler 22b but also from other planets such as earth meaning they don't use The Towering One's power but rather have developed their own type of Psychic Ability. However since Exopiens have more than 400 different types Its evident we get to see some that can manipulate Cordyceps. These versions of Exopiens are able to command Cordyceps to attack the neural bulbs/Brains of their enemies and then the cordyceps is able to recite any plan they may have had for dominating their world. Interestingly whenever this is used on Xenith Stephenson it turns out that Xenith is able to actually be the one to command the cordyceps whenever they get attached to his brain and he actually manages to gain semi-control over mushrooms for a few minutes until he shakes his head and the parasite turned victim falls out of his brain and out his nose. This shows that the mind is what is controlling the mushrooms symbolized by the Exopien's purple mushroom cap with glowing spots.

## Trivia

Florasapiens are based heavily off of treants, Toads from mario, and Pikmin,
