Appearance
Shrinelings can change between humanoid, feral, or in between. They all have at least one plant growing from their bodies, with rare shrinelings acting as living gardens! They also have huldra-like 'holes' on their backs, nicknamed windows. These reflect a scene that is a clue to where their shrine is hidden.
The last key feature is their shrine! Each is unique to the shrineling, and has a collection of trinkets of past partners. The shrines are made of crystal or stone, and can be nearly any shape! See below for an example & the species mascot!
