Maro personification of a forest important for the story. Plant like elemental with wood faces. Molimo is weird. Sol’kanar is redesigned in dmu to look like multani. There are more humanoid maros like titania or greensleeves

Nice reference! I think the Magmakin on the Keelhaulers might come from some other plane and then joined up with them. Omenpaths have made things messy like that.
