Species: Dualcap Rana
Birthday: Thursday, November 7, 2024

Element: Life/Void
The perfect environment for a dualcap rana involves a shaded and moist area, preferably in a flower garden or near a lake. The adults usually spend their time in the shade of bushes or at the base of small trees, observing the entire area. They do not mind being in the presence of magi but prefer to be in nature, where it is quieter. Despite their actions as hatchlings, the dualcap rana adults rarely use their magic, deciding to interfere with the natural growth of plants only when extremely necessary. While this might inconvenience those who want the plants in their gardens to develop from a sprout to a blooming flower in a single day, it is healthier for the garden itself. However, they have no problem releasing their spores in abundance whenever requested. They seem to care little about how their spores affect people and are just happy to help those who need to expand or shrink in size.
The dualcap ranas are as powerful as they are cute. They are favored by those who have an affinity for the life element but also by those passionate about adventuring. Magic-wise, the dualcap ranas' magic influences the growth of nature, helping plants grow twice as fast as they normally would. Their simple presence makes it possible for plants to grow rapidly, for flower buds to bloom in seconds, for saplings to become small trees in a matter of hours, but also for everything to wither and die sooner than it should. At the same time, the dualcap ranas are conscious about the environment and would never do something that could harm nature. Thus, they sometimes refuse to use their magic as they do not like disturbing the natural balance. The dualcap ranas aren't as strict, though. Adventurers are usually the ones who use these spores, as those who ingest them will shrink or increase in size. This is an exceptionally useful feat for those who wish to squeeze through tight spaces, pass by undetected, reach tall branches, or pass over medium-sized rivers. The spores can only affect living creatures, and fortunately, they don’t damage the body when ingested. Experiments were done to see if ingesting more of the spores could determine the amount of size one gains or loses, but no matter how much effort was put into it, the spores' effects have their limits. Their effect can’t be stacked, so one person cannot be shrunk or enlarged more than once. The dualcap rana’s spores come in two different shades of brown. The lighter shade will always shrink, while the darker will always enlarge, so it's easy to tell which spores to use based on one's specific needs.
