Gauthic Plants

Plants were the second form of life on Galath, vastly more complex than oozes, but without inherent minds to interfere with magical transformations.   The simplest Gauthic plants are simple arcane varietals, transmuted or invested to give them novel traits, but still fundamentally plants.   Botanoids are plants given animation and a mind of sorts, in imitation of primal life forms like treefolk and Fae such as dryads. They are often made as simple guardians, but a few are give more sophisticated minds. Botanoids may also arise 'naturally' within a Primeval Wilderness, where they fall under the control of the primals that they mimic.   Blights are a form of botanoid born of exotic energies. They have Otherfire in their sap and are driven by hunger and malice.   Not quite plants, myconids are ambulatory, intelligent fungi. They form large, subterranean colonies, but in truth all myconids are part of a single, networked organism, making them either the most endangered or most successful organism in Galath.
