Mendigo

The Mendigo (pronounced mend-igo) are a race of wooden beings that look like wooden mannequin puppets but slightly smaller than humans but also are more cylinder and square shape. Their scientific name/Latin name is Arborus homines, the tree men. The idea was originally created by a friend of the owner who goes by the nickname 'White', who is credited with the creation and ownership of the race idea.

House Creation
Mendigo don't build their houses, but grow them. These trees are called shape trees, and the Mendigo make "molds" for the trees to grow into. These trees grow extremely fast, a few feet a day. After around 90 days, the trees stop growing and stay in there shape but still live. They are also hollow. So, the body of the building has grown by then, and the Mendigo can move in.
