ABOUT

A favorite of millennials everywhere, avocado is a fruit-bearing tree originating from southern Mexico. Its fruit (technically a berry) has an extremely high fat content, making for a unique eating experience. Avocados are used in guacamole, spread on toast, and other savory dishes. Of course, you can’t discuss avocado without mentioning that its name means testicle.

Much like the fruit it is derived from, the Avocado leshy is a chonky one, moving a bit slower than other leshy but with increased fortitude and constitution in exchange. The hard pit of the avocado serves as a central core of the leshy, and provides some protection against slashing damage (which inactivates its natural regeneration).

Leshies formed from avocado often utilize their pit as a pseudo-head, requiring the berry to be opened. Normally, this would cause an avocado to go bad quickly, but the leshies are gifted a small amount of regeneration to counteract this effect. It is possible these creatures were first created in an attempt to generate an endless supply of avocado.
