Domain Feron
Classification Plantae
Lifespan 100+ Years

A Humanoid Sapient Plant based Species. Their limbs and body seem to be composed of Vines and leafy structures. They are usually a dark Green with minor coloration on some leaves. Their Humanoid head has a vine/tentacled structure that acts as a mouth. Their Internal Organs consist of Structures much like other living creatures, such as a heart, and even lungs. A Digestive track does exist, but their is no waste ridding structures, as any waste they get rid of is removed as carbon Dioxide and Oxygen. They seem to digest just about anything they consume and use it to improve their body and grow, but it should be noted like any plant, the least it needs to live is good soil, water, Carbon Dioxide, and Sun light.

Dregs grow and improve endlessly, some of the senior ones growing to be far larger than a normal Humanoid, Dregs will undergo changes based on age and diet. Tougher Dregs may develop a hard Bark like armor on them with age, and depending on diet, various metals have been seen to make up molecular weaves in this armor. It is also noted that they can grow bladed organic weapons using metals in their diet. This is a conscious action, and the quality of the blade depends on the materials ingested and available. Through Natural Processes these weapons can take a long time to form, and grow from the arms. Their Organic construction seems to make them uniquely strong and sharp possibly due to their construction on a molecular level.

Perhaps that strangest thing is they are not native to the planet at all, the seeds had been buried in the barren planets ground, how it got their is a mystery, so Dregs may exist on other planets. The Recent Climate change brought about their renewed life.

Dregs have a female Variant that acts as a Queen, but this Queen is not actually needed for their development or Reproduction, though it may be used. Reproduction usually includes pollination of flowering plants, the Dregs Pollen forcibly modifies the host plant's seeds. These seeds become Dregs Seeds, which are parasitic to other plants and grow and feed off the Host Material. The Larger the Plant, the quicker the Development of the Dregs. So Flowering trees are always preferred, but anything capable of accepting pollen will do. Some seeds may not develop and enter a stasis and will grow during the correct conditions. Dregs can grow in the ground without a host plant, but this takes significantly longer.

The Queen Dregs are unique in that they grow into a large Stationary Flower of massive proportions, each queen is unique in having a Different flower form. Some may be large Roses or Daisies and so on. They have a thick root system that may invade other nearby plants to use their resources, forming a parasitic Symbiosis. The Flower of the Queen however does not house typical flower reproductive parts, but instead houses a Humanoid Female, who looks Human, but it has been noted to take on other Female Forms, usually Beautiful ones, always of a Humanoid shape. This Female is connected by tendrils to the base of its spine, these tendrils have great length allowing the Queen to explore within its Flowers Territory.

The purpose of these Females are unknown, but they do help in reproduction when needed, they can produce many Dreg seeds, they usually only accept the pollen of exceptional and strong Dreg males to ensure strong, and resourceful offspring. Other than that they provide a sort of leadership to those that wish to follow them, or their own offspring. Why a Humanoid Female shape is taken is unknown, but may have something to do with past interaction with Sapient species.

The Drastic difference between males and females may mean that some sort of past modification or some mutation happened in the Dregs DNA in the long past.
