[QUOTE="Scorponox, post: 5371240, member: 93144"] They are called Octotrees by the fairies because in their culture, they do not count past the number 8. They only do things in 8's, so 16 would be two 8s. 64 would be 8x8. And then for higher numbers, they would refer to powers such as 8 to the power of ^3 or ^4. The Octotree has (8x2)-6 legs. I guess I should rewrite their gold pieces demands to say they demand 8 ^3 gold pieces. ;) Real reason, Octotree just sounds better. :D Hrmm...I never thought much of the alignment. I just went with it because that is what Beholders are, I think, and I copied the stats from that part and didn't erase it before posting. They are pretty much just creatures found growing in the natural world, but because the land is leaking magic particles, the plants are affected. They are moody and territorial, and will attack without provocation and eat animals and humans for nourishment. But I guess they wouldn't be considered "evil". I haven't really decided what alignment the fairies are. Truthfully, they are just like humans. Some are good, and some are evil. [/QUOTE]
