Lore
-
Plushex (pronounced Plush-Ex) are a beloved sub-subspecies of Aphex known for their unique bodies of cotton and fabric. They are hardy creatures, and do not experience wounds or sickness like most organic creatures. When wounded, they must re-stitch the wound; otherwise, it will remain open until it is addressed. If Plushex loses too much of its cotton, its body becomes unusable but will not perish as long as the heart remains unharmed. They do not need to eat or drink. Plushex are made from the soul of someone who may have recently passed, found, or brought to The Last Gentle Thing, where it is then contained in the unique plush heart that prevents the soul from passing. A blank body is then created for the soul, which will flourish with colour once the heart is placed. While they are immune to aging, Plushex are far from immortal to time itself. Over a century-long lifespan, their souls may begin to decay inside their hearts, turning the Plushex someone unrecognisable.
Plushex with soul-rot may appear more dull, or their colours may have changed entirely. Their cotton turns into a black, tar-like substance and can emerge from their stitching. The longer a Plushex survives soul-rot, the further they change from their personality, often experiencing memory loss and higher rates of aggression. Soul-rot is near impossible to revert.
This image depicts potential appearances of soul-rot, however, it may not be outwardly present unless the Plushex manipulates it or experiences excessive amounts of emotion.Â

Social Life
-
Plushex are considered a peaceful species, often working in fields such as crafting, tailoring, shopkeeping, and gardening. It is rare to find Plushex in labouring jobs or jobs that require strength and endurance. For this reason, Plushex are beloved by most species and are usually avoided by predators or aggressive fauna and flora.Â

Plush Heart
-
 Every Plushex has a stuffed heart on their chest or stomach. While being referred to as "hearts", they can take the shape of almost any whole symbol. This means it must be one piece, but it can be as detailed or as simple as the Thing may wish to craft. The Last Gentle Thing is exceptional at sensing the soul of the being it is working with, crafting them a heart that suits their personality, history, or dreams. It is unknown how the plush heart effectively contains a soul, however, the Thing is the only known being that can successfully create them.Â
