IQUHOSTIM
The Iquhostim are a race of plant-men from another dimension. They are shaped like humans, but composed of plant matter: moss for hair, eyes that resemble berries, mold for eyebrows, etc. They are various shades of green, yellow, and brown. Their toenails and fingernails resemble bark. They speak their own language but can learn and speak others. They come from a dimension where gravity on their planet is several times that of Earth's. They have four eyes, a pair antenna, and a long slender tail. They don't do photosynthesis, they eat meat and plants. They need double the amount of water per day than humans. They don't need to "plant" themselves in soil at night and can be 100% active at night or in darkness, they don't need the sun any more than humans do. Extended periods of time without exposure to sunlight has no ill effect on them. Strangely enough, they breathe oxygen and exhale CO2 just like humans do.
