# The Botani (Plant-Folk)
The Botani are a species of sentient plant-like creatures that are often found in areas lush with plant life such as the Emerald Wilds or the rainforests of Q'Arada. The appearance of Botani change to match local flora, helping them blend in to their surroundings. This also happens with the change of seasons. Especially if the Botani in question resembles a deciduous tree.

"Do you ever miss your home?" he asked <br>
"Yes" they replied, "I especially miss my family, I have been apart from them for too long." <br>
The adventurer looked up to the sky, lost in thoughts "Have you ever thought about giving up adventuring and returning home?" <br>
They nodded, but commented "I have. But then I would be separated from my current family" <br>

### Social Creatures
Botani adventurers are a rare sight in Erilar. The Botani, like certain plants, tend to prefer to remain in communities of their own kind. This trait helps differentiate the Botani from other plant-like creatures in Erilar. For example, the giant Treants are often solitary creatures, while Dryads tend to be linked to a single tree and can't venture too far for too long away from their tree. Botani on the other hand only have a preference rather than a need to remain in forests.

Botani who venture out from forests often stay either in small villages that are surrounded by nature or in bustling cities to be surrounded by more sentient creatures, depending on preference. Botani adventurers often prefer to stay in larger parties, seeing their party members as part of their adopted community.
