Siheejio

Ah yes, the Siheejio. Beings of the feywild, most closely described by a humanoid form of scaly trees. Additionally, these beings possess spiky tails which they use to dexterously move around their home environments. Be aware though, the Siheejio are feisty ones and will attack on sight

Natural Blend

The Siheejio, whose origin is of the feywild, are warriors from birth. Their innate magical abilities, combined with their physique makes them contenders for the top of the foodchain. A Siheejio's body is made of sharp shards of condensed grass and roots, and its head shaped like a branch of leaves surrounding a crystal ball. Last but not least, the tail consists of different segmented tree branches, sharpened into spikes that can easily penetrate enemies and even stick to walls, giving the Siheejio agile movements.

Hunt the Hunter

Civilizations over generations have sought out Siheejio for a multitude of reasons, the biggest ones being research and hunting. The Feywild is an area of nature that is always of interest to the world, since they bear loads of unsolved secrets within the domain of earth. Their hardened scales are beautiful and dangerous both. Hunters will try to carve them from the Siheejios bodies and turn them into ornaments, arrowheads or blademixtures. Parts of these creatures bodies also find their uses in alchemy.

The Prey

Siheejio rest in groups, but often hunt and travel alone. When out and looking for a target, they make use of their connection to the soil to track down creatures. Once found, a root is sent out to immobilize the prey. Subsequently, their mana will first be drained before going unconcious due to a mana blast. The Siheejio make it a point to not outright kill their enemies, as to slowly stuck the life out of them to ensure the best possible nutricious meal.

Territory

The Siheejio are almost exclusively found in deep forests under the setting evening sun. Although most likely not in pacts. When eating or sleeping, these natural hunters gather in a hiden place to live out their slumber in peace. Only a handful of such "hotspots" have been discovered and there is no currently available pattern on where the Siheejio prefer to reside.
