Basic Information

Anatomy

Tall and slender bodies adorned with interlocking layers of hardened bark. Spindly fingers on the end of large hands. A crown of wood protruding from the top of their heads, sitting on top of a thin face. Green vine like tendrils interwoven together where muscle's should be.

Genetics and Reproduction

Females leave a seed in a location which they spray with pheromones making it easy for a male to find. The male then cultivates the seed and it later grows into an Illones.

Growth Rate & Stages

An Illones takes 12 years to grow from seed to a fully formed adult. The first 3 months it remains as a seed, growing from the bottom of the seed a foetus starts to sprout. From there it goes to a toddler in its first 2 years. The third-year yields an Illones child (The equivalent of a ten-year-old human), from then on it goes through a young adult phase until it’s the twelfth year in which it is a fully grown adult. As Illones feels their death coming they say goodbye to the family and they leave to become one wit the forest they live in.
