Traits

The body is much denser and nutrient-rich, allowing the growth of plants.

While not all of the leech must be covered in or replaced by leaves and flowers, the trait refers to the potential rather than what can be seen. An unmaintained plant body leech may eventually become a miniature walking jungle, but most like to selectively groom themselves.

These leeches maintain a symbiotic and often codependent relationship with the plants that grow on them; the leech provides nutrients, while the plants keep the leech alive beyond its years. That being said, a garden leech is only as healthy as the plants on its back.
Many owners like to cultivate and maintain a single plant type on their leech, and particularly traditional enthusiasts like to introduce bonsai trees as a symbol of longevity.

Note: Body types cannot be partially applied or mixed outside of an official or legendary capacity. A leech can only have ONE type of body mutation. These are any traits in the trait list with the name 'body' in the title, e.g Fur body, Solid body, Feathered body, etc. OR their official partial variant.
