Turnipid

Turnipids are sentient vegetable creatures. They live in large communal gardens, usually located on plateaus, mountains, or other isolated areas. The creature's roots have structure in such a way as to allow locomotion. Like all plants they create their own food via photosynthesis, however they also possess a rudimentary digestive system and thus routinely supplement their diet with animal protein, mostly taken from various types of insects which are reared much like livestock.
