How the Pathfinder Leshy Name Generator works
A Pathfinder leshy name generator for the small plant folk created by druids and nature spirits. Leshies often name themselves after the plant they grew from, so pick a type, leaf, fungus, cactus, gourd, vine or lotus, and get a name with an optional grove or job.
How the Pathfinder leshy name generator works
A leshy's body grows from a plant, and its name usually points back to that plant. A leaf leshy might be Ferntip or Maplewhirl. A fungus leshy might be Puffcap or Inkcap. Cactus, gourd, vine and lotus leshies get names that play with their prickles, round shapes, tendrils or pond homes. The generator can add the grove or garden where the leshy first woke, or a simple job like the Seedkeeper, because many leshies are created for a purpose.
Names that grow
Leshies are young and curious. Some take a new name after an adventure, so it is fine for a leshy's name to change as it grows.

FAQ
What is a leshy?
A leshy is a small nature spirit given a plant body, often by a druid. They are a playable ancestry in Pathfinder, with heritages based on their plant: leaf, fungus, cactus, gourd, vine and lotus.
How do leshies choose their names?
Most take a name from the plant they grew from or the place they woke up. Names are usually simple and descriptive, like Morel or Hopsling, rather than long family names.
Can a leshy have a surname?
Usually not. Leshies are created alone rather than born into families, so the generator adds a home grove or a job instead of a surname.
Can I use these for other plant creatures?
Yes. The names work for any small plant creature, dryad sprout, garden spirit or mushroom folk in any fantasy game, and they make charming names for familiars and garden companions too.
