Hybrids of plant and creature, the Shrub Kobold are known to have become master chemists, using their creations as a means of defense from potential predators. Most famously known for discovering a unique chemical that elicits a pain receptor response and exploiting this to trigger overwhelming and extreme pain great enough to cause a cardiac arrest from panic. Although masters of chemical warfare, they are one of the few species that has never used the weapons they've created against its own kind. The infants are more wood than creature until adulthood where the ratio is reversed. The males are easily identifiable from an appendage that is jokingly referred to as looking like a bouquet of flowers that the females base as an indicator of strong genes.
