[QUOTE="Shade, post: 3443626, member: 287"] Taking a stab at flavor text... [I]This terra cotta sculpture takes the form of an 8-foot-tall human warrior. Green vines grow through holes throughout its surface, giving it an almost shaggy appearance. It smells of wet soil, compost, and vegetation.[/I] Chia golems are bizarre constructs that house a number of living plants, incorporating them into their appearance and function. Most often constructed from terra cotta or baked stone, a chia golem can be created from any porous material. Once sculpted, the body is filled with soil and seeds, and becomes a form of animated flowerpot. Chia golems can be shaped into a variety of forms, from humanoid warriors to animals, giant vermin, or even dragons. Crafting a chia golem is an art form for many spellcasters. The selection of plants can result in a beautiful, moving piece of topiary, or it can be planted to be a frightening, venomous monstrosity. Chia golems may be planted with nearly any type of seeds, usually grasses, creeping flowering plants, vines. Different types of plants may be combined for aesthetic reasons. Some of the largest chia golems have been filled with seeds from monstrous plants such as assassin vines. Although it is possible to create a chia golem for oneself, the traditions of most cultures familiar with their creation manufacture them as gifts for others. A chia golem golem cannot speak or make any vocal noise. It stands between 8 and 10 feet tall and weighs around 550 pounds. [/QUOTE]
