Veggieling

Sprouted from the rich, fertile soil of a plain or a tilled field, you are a veggieling. As a veggieling, you are part of the most populous of the Harvestborn subraces. Most veggielings resemble vegetables like onions, carrots, cabbages, or lettuces. They are incredibly talented diggers, living in large communal structures under grassy plains. Their underground cities sometimes rival those of Dwarves in size and intricacy.

They are the farmers of the Harvestborn race, gifted in the art of growing crops. The agricultural and social nature of their communities, as well as their large numbers compared to other Harvestborn, means they are the most likely to live among other races.

A city with a high veggieling population very quickly becomes accustomed to the bountiful harvests that they bring with them, making the veggielings an essential part of the city's economy. It's not uncommon in these places to see veggielings in positions of leadership in guilds and as powerful merchants.

Veggieling Variant: Mushroom

You sprouted from the humid soil of a cave, hundreds of feet away from sunlight. Your head is crowned by a wide cap that shields you from the sun. Mushroomlings are veggielings who live far below the surface. Unlike other surface-underground relations, surface veggielings and mushroomlings tend to get along fairly well and often trade goods only found in their respective biomes. Mushroomlings are less entrepreneurial than surface veggielings. Most mushroomling colonies are busy fighting unending wars with other living-mushroom races that also dwell deep within the earth, but they have the same communal disposition and general cheery attitude as their cousins from above.
