Leshy

Basic Information

Anatomy

Leshys are humanoid in their upper body while having rootlike limbs for mobility on their lower half.

Biological Traits

A leshy is different from its other brethren by the rootlike limbs that function as both mobility and weapons to hunt/defend itself.  A leshy usually is about 8’6” tall, but they can have extended reach by stretching out their lower limbs.

Ecology and Habitats

Leshies are found almost exclusively in marshes and forests, using the natural terrain to help camouflage themselves.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Leshies are assumed to be carnivorous due to their territorial hunting patterns. The animals (and sometime people) captured but the leshen are held within the lower region of the creature and slowly digested.
