Editing Periodic Table of Dragons/RaceDescriptions (section)

==Lophorans==
*A desert race of plant people that are quiet, calm, and slow to act for most of the year. During the time of the brief desert rainy season, they become extremely festive and social, celebrating the rainfall as a sign of the favor of the spirits. The fruit they grow from the rain is also seen as a gift from the spirits, as the fruit holds the seeds of the next generation. The skin is used to dye striking ponchos to dance about in, and the flesh can be developed into a psychoactive drug which they use to commune with the spirits.
*During the few weeks that the Lophora party it up, some of the drugs are used recreationally. During the rest of the year, the drugs are used whenever an important matter of individual or communal significance is worth seeking the spirits' opinions on. However, in order to make sure supplies last through the year, the drugs are used sparingly.
*Owing to their green, grey and tan skin, rough and bumpy texture, and the fact that they don't normally wear clothes (the festive ponchos are the exception: clothing otherwise interferes with photosynthesis), lone Lophorans laying in the sand to meditate on an important matter are often mistaken for large rocks.
*They live in distinctly recognizable communities with a small number of pueblo houses surrounding a central area. During the cold desert nights, the Lophora gather together inside the buildings and (very cautiously) light a small fire to keep warm. During the day, the sit around outside to take in the sunlight while quietly discussing intellectual and philosophical matters. Young Lophorans, which are rooted to the ground and immobile for the first few years of their life, are planted in the central area, which enclose small gardens that are communally maintained and certainly a strange sight in a desert.
*They will gladly trade for brightly colored beads, cloth of unusual colors and anything else they can use to make festival clothes and jewelery, they cannot work glass or metal themselves and certain dye colors such as blue and white are beyond their ability to make.
*You might call them "Peyoteople", but that would be highly insensitive.
