Vernandi

The Vernandi are a race of mobile, sentient plants that reside largely within the Swamp Jungle (also known as the Swungle) of the Draconian Principalities. They serve under Prince Pomos, whose very body makes up the majority of the Swungle. The Vernandi act in a symbiotic relationship with their master, in which they gain nutrients and energy from the surrounding trees while acting as a sort of parasite hunter themselves.
