Lichen leshies are a species of nomadic, rugged leshies corresponding to lichen.1

Appearance

A lichen leshy's body is composed of lichens. Lichen leshies almost always wear cozy raincoats that help camouflage their form and protect them, but no others, as if it were armour.1

Ecology

Lichen leshies are grown by using spores, aromatic salts, and pure rainwater to paint their image on any surface. Once the leshy matures, it peels itself off the surface and spends a day constructing its gear.1

Lichen leshies are nomadic, relying on their survival skills to reach harsh, remote places, slowly breaking down rocks into nutrient-rich soil that can sustain plant life. They often carry tiny mementos of their greatest achievements, and it is possible to earn one's ready assistance by listening to its rambling tales of how it found each trophy. A lichen leshy can envelop foes in a lattice of delicate digestive growths, and release a slow-acting acid that dissolves stone and organic material.1
