No massive adventure game is complete without some colorful characters to harass along the way. In Crashlands, we wanted to take the opportunity of an open game world to add to the Butterscotch universe and expand our cast of races. Meet the Races is a 3 part series exploring the major species you'll come into contact with - and help - throughout your Crashlands journey.TENDRAAM
ZEALOUS - NATURALISTS - FLIGHTY
The likeness of Tendraam horns and hooves to plants has given rise to their deep belief in a plant-based god, whom they refer to as Maarla. Maarla does not appreciate having her plants trod upon, so Tendraam take great care in not touching the ground. They fly about for most of their adult lives, flitting just slightly above the ground.
Tendraam are not particularly intelligent. Their deep belief in Maarla has led to a dualistic understanding of the world - the Tendraam understand things in only two categories: Sentients, and Plants. Anything that touches the ground is a Plant, and therefore a sacred expression of Maarla. Anything that does not (including themselves) is a sentient, and should strive for Plant-like purity.
Flux’s crash from space onto Woanoap causes the Tendraam to view her as a transcendent of sorts - since she was once a Sentient (airborne) but has somehow become a Plant. They believe that Juicebox, Flux's robot sidekick, is the Sentient disciple of Flux, an everliving servant and worshipper. This causes the sassy Juicebox no shortage of annoyance.

| The things Tendraam gather around are often strange plantlife, which they view as sacred. |
