Drosera

Terrors of the Jungle At first glance, a drosera’s head looks like a large, ripe melon. In truth, is made of two (or in a few tribes, three or even four) thick, interlocked toothed plates which, when opened, expose their mouth and a pair of eyes. This under-visage can be disturbing to other races, and so most traveling Drosera keep their plates closed, wearing fanciful wooden or ceramic masks in a vague mockery of most races’ facial structure. They have a set of air-holes on their necks that allow them to speak and breathe while their headplates are closed.   Drosera prefer to eat meat to the exclusion of anything else, and they train their saplings in the art of the ambush from a young age. As they age, they take on more dangerous game with their sires, passing their skills down to the next generation.   Finding work in civilized areas where their cannibalistic nature is not frowned upon is difficult, so drosera who leave their native jungles gravitate toward assassination work that allows them to take the lives (or limbs) of others.
