Physically resembling trees, Decheerans have a somewhat humanoid appearance. They do have an analog to smell, and have a very keen sense of it. They can smell layer upon layer of scents simultaneously, combining into a kind of aroma symphony. In particular, they love the deeply subtle scents of forests and swamps. | Physically resembling trees, Decheerans have a somewhat humanoid appearance.

A Decheeran who is willing spends some time meditating in a forest or other suitable location, and sheds an arm or a leg when it wants to spawn a new Decheeran. The proto-Decheeran roots itself to the ground, and that's the last intentional contact a Decheeran has with its "children." They don't recognize or care later who spawned them, or whom they spawned. The proto-Decheeran then spends ~30 years growing, slowly, gaining in sentience until one day, it decides to unroot and move, at which point it is considered an adult Decheeran. | ||
