GAISE I'M GETTING BETTER.

Drayads! Also known as broccoli monsters.

Comment/critique/feedback, you young devils.

Here's a male.

Males, from a young age, begin growing a barky residue all over their bodies but mainly covering the fragile ligaments at their joints.
To add in both camouflage and defensive capabilities they grow plant life, vegetable matter, and form symbiotic relationships with living things on their epidermis.
This one doesn't anything for the sake of design clarity.
Drayads are vicious, uncompromising, and clever. Communicate with pheromones and subtle noises.
(Some have learnt a rudimentary sign language to communicate with other races.)
They intimidate and inspire fear in an effort to prevent deforestation, not only because they desire peace and quiet but because females and younglings reside in and around trees and bushes and root systems.

Some paint themselves with blood or pigments to further frighten intruders, and some even have reputations among those within whom they inspire fear.

All drayad colonies have a single sentry, who patrols the furthest edges of the pack's territory.
Other males are simply miscellaneous defenders or utilitymen. Some grow healing herbs upon themselves, for example.
Females are committed fulltime to youngling growth and seeding, not only because is time consuming to grow but fragility is an issue and females do not grow such hard carapaces, allowing species of different sorts to grow upon them and in them.

All drayads have a flower that holds their spirit growing in a chest cavity.
When a male dies, his mate (for fighting males only grow aggressive and defensive through the hormonal interactions with mates) finds their flower and plants it in their garden, or if a nomadic female, upon her body, to keep their protective spirit close.
Worth mentioning- Drayads are incredibly xenophobic and can punch through sheet iron.
