Gardens “grow” when someone dies on a pile of flowers or any other plants other than grass. If they spill blood while dying, this “nurtures” both the plants and body and allows the body to revive while also joining the life force of the plants, creating a new plant/humanoid hybrid known as a Garden. Often times, they lose their memories of their past life and go off to find other Gardens to live with.
Gardens' upper halves are humanoid while their bottom half resembles a jumble of flowers and plants, like a bouquet of sorts. Their skin, hair and eyes come in a variety of colors as the color of the flowers they died atop of dictate such things. They also come baring fangs and long claws. Long tentacles, often tipped in thorns, help them move around.
Gardens have always formed from those who die in bloody ways atop the flowers and plants. This means Lost Souls cannot become Gardens as they have no blood to spill. Creatures born of the Void also cannot become Gardens because the Void bodies melt in the light.
As plants, Gardens are strong against anything related to earth, water and other plant life. On the other hand, they are weak to extreme heat and flame. The constant light of The Ageless Black and the relatively healthy soil allows them to live long and be relatively hardy against most attacks.
