Ambrosii

The Ambrosii are herbivorous subset of the Myacoris who make their homes inside of large vegetation, particularly the giant thustles, burrs, and gall trees. They are sometimes adopted by Vespula to take care of their orchards, but they are also often hunted. They live in a highly feudal society where most of the population are tenants of a farm or settlements, with the leaders often paying tribute to Vespula or Kubeleya for protection. They have shorter lifespans but their role in agriculture is significant.

Who are they and what do they look like?

• Skin ranges from very pale to dark, but undertones are more saturated with yellow or red
• Yellow to white hair that reflects light and reacts to static, rarely some will have black hair
• Hair (body+otherwise) is reflective in sunlight
• They all have bright green eyes, except for those with albinism whose eyes are red

What are their senses or perceptions?

• Amazing eyesight when it comes to movement
• Sensitive to vibrations
• Completely reliant on scent for recognition
• Can tell the properties of any herb or plant by senses alone, such as health, sex or age - "truth tellers"
• They build houses out in the giant plants that seems to defy physics

Where are they in your setting?

• They are pretty much everywhere where plants grow, but particularly in humid and warm places where fruits grow
• Tend to follow Vespula around, especially Cynipina, and in the North they are looked to for detecting oxygen rifts in the tundra
• Heavily involved in Citron-rich areas, though they struggle in Northern forests where the flame-stopping chemicals are different

How do they survive in their environment?

• They reproduce quickly but can also live in small spaces, basically anywhere plants are growing
• They often have alliances with Nettlewings who also live off of the giant plants, or protection from Vespula
• They are extremely resourceful with plants and have an incredible sense of smell- following them will lead to nutrient or citron-dense areas

What is their general attitude?

• Eusocial and relatively peaceful, work as a collective and struggle to take leadership
• Overcomplicated courting and marriage rituals because they are very selective when breeding, since they will often start a new colony
• Seen as whimsical and peaceful, if not a bit annoying but ultimately harmless by most, they are often taken advantage of by those with less scruples but they do little to organize or defend themselves

How do they feel about the other peoples?

• They kind of get along with everyone because they just want to eat, breed, work, and keep to themselves
• They believe the plants they live in are deities, they are notorious stubborn when it comes to proselytization and the only deity the Heno Empire could convince them to believe in was Danno, who is a folk hero
• They don't often marry outside of their species, let alone outside their own culture
• They are somewhat reverent toward Vespula, and see them as the Kings of their realm, and chosen by the gods (the plants)
