VerdureClanners are typically average cats with long, dense fur. Even VerdureClanners with short fur still have incredibly dense coats! Because of the moisture in their environment, these cats have a double coat, with a harsh, bristly topcoat and a plush undercoat. This topcoat is damp and has moss and other plants growing in it, but VerdureClanners don't mind, as their undercoat keeps them warm and cozy. The plants they produce do not have any medical or nutritional value, and cannot be planted or grown until their host passes. These plants cannot produce large fruits, instead growing small, useless berries. Although useless in life, when VerdureClanners pass away, their plants sprout from their grave site into harvestable, nutritious plants. However, it is seen as disrespectful to collect them. VerdureClanners have thick tufted fur atop their paws, as well as horns or tusks. These horns shed once a year, during mid Wet Season. Optionally, their front paws can resemble a mix between hooves and paws. These "hooves" are individual toes that can move freely. Although herbivores in nature, VerdureClanners can eat meat opportunistically without falling ill. Alongside horns and tusks, their markings and colors are able to be based off of ungulates, excluding aquatic ungulates (Cetaceans). Examples of this include tapir, horses, giraffes, boar and pigs, cattle, ohmpala, and camels.

VerdureClanners are very swift, strong, and nimble cats. A guardian is capable of reaching speeds up to 45mph in short bursts. Most VerdureClanners are capable of springing gaps up to 12 feet in order to cross treacherous gaps or spring through branches. They can match this height vertically, and go even higher if they have a running start! 

These herbivores have chlorokinesis- or the ability to grow, control, and manipulate plant matter! This skill is most commonly used to nurture food and create strong, sturdy logs to trade to other clans. However, chlorokinesis has a strong use in combat- the plants VerdureClanners produce can be both lethal and life-saving! Food grown instantly with chlorokinesis has no taste nor good nutrients.

VerdureClan leaders have much larger horns, and they sometimes even have two sets of them! They may also have one set of horns and a set of tusks. They also have cloven hooves instead of hind paws. Much more plant matter grows in their fur, but oddly, it doesn't hinder their ability to move. VerdureClan leaders are also much faster than guardians- they can reach blinding speeds of 60mph in short bursts, and leap gaps of nearly 18 feet. Leaders also have much greater chlorokinetic abilities! Their Leader marks are usually on their foreheads or upper hind legs!
