Trelniki

Trelniki: Tall and slender, the Trelniki are an ambulatory vegetative species. Humanoid, they are partial to allowing their lower extremities to take root. They are easily mistaken for a topiary project and indeed build gardens in which they grow and maintain images of non-sapient versions of famous Trelniki. Upon close inspection, what from a distance looks like sand-colored epidermis is revealed to be a pattern of tiny, overlapping leaves. First appearance: Barry's Deal.

Their origin world was lost to an extinction-level event some four thousand years ago, nearly wiping out the entire race. Five small colonies in other star systems allowed the race to survive and endure. Those colonies expanded to fill their respective worlds. As a race, Trelniki prefer to stay at home, but small teams have been known to travel and collect seedlings which they bring back to their own planets to nurture.

Trelniki have two sexes. Females have high voices that sound like tinkling glass. Males have much deeper voices that can be said to rumble.

It's been established (again, in Barry's Deal) that the Trelniki have served as a template race for the Plenum.

Every Trelniki world has a vast seed vault, with specimens from throughout the galaxy.

After the loss of their world of origin, the first planet the Trelniki colonized was Telerna. It is now a thriving world, home to lush forests, vast mountain ranges, and a billion Trelniki.
