[edit] Rootpitters

The Rootpitters are a parasitic race of plants. They enter the hosts body through there mouth and into the stomach. from there they start to eat the host alive until it reaches the brain. After it reaches the brain it becomes one with the host as a new entity. Beware of strange sweet smelling purple peach like fruit for that is how they get into your system. Some people believe they can live as long as the trees them selves. Most of there hosts are female. The reasons for this are unknown. It is some times said that the soul of the host and the Rootpitter become one with each other, but that is not widely believed.

[edit] Physical Description

Rootpitters have a range of yellow to dark green skin and always have very dark green(almost black) eyes. They are also hairless, but where the host had hair they will grow leaves ranging from white, green, and dark reds where there hair would grow. There height depends on the host. There skin is silky smooth and when you touch them its like touching a living doll. Most of them are female. They have no body heat but they are not cold. There host is always a young adult. There body has not been known to age but it has been known to sprout horn like branches from there head and there leaves have been known to change in to the long rope like branches you see on a willow tree. Rootpiyyers do breath and eat but have no heart beat.
