	They need adequate sunlight to be healthy. Their colors, especially those with flower-like appendages, appear dull without enough light. They have a bioluminescent “Sunny D” to help deal with periods of prolonged exposure to darkness, but it is not a permanent solution. While they do not photosynthesize, the plants growing on them do – even more incentive for sunlight.		They need adequate sunlight to be healthy.

	As Sylthae age, their bodies become tougher and slower. Generally, their attitudes also relax and slow during this aging process. More plant-like tissues sprout between the cracks of their bark and in-between moss or ferns that decide to take home on them. Sylthae that manage to live up to over a century often have aggressive vegetation consuming them.		As Sylthae age, their bodies become tougher and slower.

	The '''Sylthae''' are a plant-inspired species present on the sphere of Elyndra. Despite appearing as though they are comprised of plants, the Sylthae are mammals, with their bodies comprised of layered, fibrous matter that resembles sinew grown in rings. Their tissue grows into a keratinized plate that resembles tree bark or the stems of plants. Sylthae vary in appearance, but most feature crests, spines, branching limbs, vine tails, horns, and other distinctive features that allow them to blend in with their surroundings. Sylthae enjoy basking in the sun for energy and fall ill when not in the sun for long periods of time. Their architecture represents their connection to the flora on Elyndra, able to control and manipulate them. Due to their connection with the flora and the ability to coax them to do their bidding, labor is seen as crude and lower-class. The Sylthae have mastered an ability known as ‘Twin Growth’, in which they enhance qualities of themselves from a plant, though this ability is much harder to do as their bodies grow tougher with age. Sylthae are all herbivores and can eat a variety of plants. Part of what makes their life easy is existing in such lush forests that food will always be at every corner. Their governing system is made of a collection of elders, all of whom see no reason to leave their Garden Sphere. It’s paradise, after all, and anyone who argues otherwise is a threat to such a paradise.		The '''Sylthae''' are a plant-inspired species present on the sphere of Elyndra.
