Description Player race artwork for Endless Realms , a D&D-like "pen and paper" fantasy RPG I'm working for.  These are the so-called advanced races, which are subspecies of the core 9 races to be released in their own separate advanced races books.

While the Yakshi, the plantfolk of Lumis, boast an incredible amount of diversity as part of their race, there do have a few apparent subtypes.  The swamp Yakshi are perhaps distinguished more by their subculture, however, than their biology - they are a highly superstitious people obsessed with Animus, the cosmic force of life and death governed by the Dual God.

Doesn't look particularly friendly...

Heh, yeah, I think this breed is perhaps a bit more ambivalent than the yakshi as a whole.

This one looks rather dangerous but the colors are really nice. I guess you took some inspiration from the insect eating plants with glue to catch them?  Anyway, the birdlike head is pretty fitting!

Heh, yes, I think they might be the least friendly Yakshi subrace :b  And definitely, I was thinking of all the cool flora that tends to show up in places like marshes and bogs!  Thanks a lot

It would be awesome to fight a group of these going full on swamp ambush.

What about fighting WITH a group of these in a full on swamp ambush?  They're player characters after all

Thanks a lot!  I wanted them to be vaguely evocative of a witch doctor's head dress

i hate to judge people based on their appearance, but his doesn't look too friendly. O_o

*chuckles* Yeah, I could definitely see his people being rather on the unfriendly xenophobic side :b  The Yakshi are already a bit on the arrogant side, seeing plants as a superior form, so I could see these guys taking that a step further :b
