ANTEFOL

Average lifespan: 400-600 years old.
Note: Antefol are walking until they turn 200 and “take root” for the rest of their lives. Once they take root they can feel everything around them through the network of vines and underground resources.
Average height (not rooted): 7-12 feet tall
Breeding: Antefol breed by spreading seeds through fruit. There is a small possibility for one of these fruit seeds to become a fellow Antefol. Since they don’t know whose child is whose, they act as a community where everyone takes care of the children.
Religion: Most Antefol worship The Great Spirit of the Forest and believe beings are born from the land and nature. When people die, they go back to the Great Spirit and live on with the forest.
