Pip's true form was, naturally, that of a wintergourd. He was black, stood about a meter tall, and had the same slender arms and legs as the rest of his clan.
What set Pip apart from his people were the ancient, cyan patterns on his body that emitted a faint glow. This was the symbol of the Royal Family within the Shadowmist Clan, granting the ability to summon wind and rain. They could transform this weather into Spirit Rain to promote plant growth over a large area. Currently, only Pip's lineage had inherited this power to summon wind and rain.
As for his kin, though they couldn't summon wind and rain, they could still use their own innate talents to promote plant growth. This was an inborn ability of their clan.
This was why their clan was said to be masters of reclaiming land and farming. With their natural gifts, anything they planted would not only survive but thrive.
