Arcimboldo
In many ways, an Arcimboldo is the mirror image of a nonexistent: while the latter is an empty vessel enshrouding a non-existence made of ideals and passions, the former is a jumble of matter that has become alive and sentient, growing a form of existence out of all the pieces it’s made of. Much like a nonexistent, an Arcimboldo is never (well, almost never) built or assembled by someone else. Its pieces meld together and manifest a form of life by themselves, maybe as a secondary effect of the Extravaganza that permeates everything. Unlike those wandering tin cans, though, they make no attempt to conceal their nature and their incredible appearance (actually, even if they wanted to, they would never be able to pull it off). And yet, although they may take any shape and size, they keep choosing a humanoid form and a Medium size, in order not to look too alien in the eyes of the Kingdom and its commoners.

In this way, they can talk more or less normally, thanks to some form of ventriloquism, walk and move like normal people, and perceive the world around them through senses that mimic those of humans.

There are several types of Arcimboldos, usually sorted by the raw materials they are made of, but they all can develop any alignment, personality, attitude, instinct, intellect, and mood. Nonetheless, those who have met an Arcimboldo know that these creatures have a penchant for a contemplative life, philosophy, and mysticism: They love to ponder about the great mysteries of the world, souls, and the way of things.

There are no recognizable differences of sex, gender, or race among Arcimboldos, or at least none has emerged so far. Much like Nonexistents, Arcimboldos define their own appearance and use the voice and the attitude they deem proper.

How Other Races See Them
Although the debate about the Nonexistents’ nature rages on and everybody wonders what the hell they are doing in the kingdom, the debate about the Arcimboldos is pretty much settled: the wise and the commoners seem to agree about the fact that they are a product of Extravaganza, and that is enough. The fact that those who have been in Cuccaigne or in other corners of the turquoise realms have met many of these beings, living in those bizarre lands as simple commoners, also supports this theory.

While their origins are relatively accepted, everybody pretty much agrees that they are to be treated with respect, suspicion, mistrust, and prudence: One can never tell what would happen if they are driven away, harassed without good reason, or cast into a junkyard (where they should be).

Then again, an Arcimboldo usually acts as a cheerful companion or endearing scoundrel, eager to see the world and take part in extraordinary adventures, or even to fall in love with people, ideas, and lands, and become hermits, gallant knights, benandantes, brigands, and folk heroes. These extravagant creatures are therefore greeted in many dives and villages with cheers and curiosity!

Arcimboldo Traits

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2.

Age. In spite of their extravagant nature, an Arcimboldo’s life expectancy is similar to that of a human.

Size. You are a regular Arcimboldo. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Creature Type. You are a construct. Despite being constructs, arcimboldos are considered living beings, not a simple agglomeration of objects. Rest, magical healing, and the medicine skill have on arcimboldos the same benefits they have on humanoids. For the same reason, the spells which have an effect on simple objects, such as mending, have no effect on arcimboldos.

Jumble. An Arcimboldo is animated by an emerging consciousness, springing from a mix of assorted materials and bound to that mix. You gain the following benefits:

• You are immune to the poisoned condition and to poison damage.
• You do not need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• You are immune to disease.

Anti-Magic Susceptibility. You are incapacitated as long as you are within the range of an anti-magic field. If targeted by a dispel magic spell, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against the spell's saving throw DC, or you become unconscious for 1 minute.

Scavenger. During a brawl, when you take a whack, you lose an item from your body. That item can be used as a prop.

All Pieces Plus One (Subrace). Although the orcharder is the most common Arcimboldo version, there are other types as well. Choose your nature among the available ones.

Orcharder
The orcharder is an Arcimboldo made of vegetables, plants, fruits, flowers, and other vegetal elements. The extravagant nature that animates an orcharder also prevents its elements from rotting and keeps renewing their appearance as seasons go by: flowers bloom, fruits ripen, plants wither, and seeds sprout. Many orcharders chose a rural life, and work as farmers or herbalists, while others become benandantes, to always remain in touch with the natural world they belong to.

Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

Extravagant Influence. An orcharder can call upon Extravaganza’s natural forces. You know the druidcraft and thorn whip cantrips.

Resistant Structure. You have resistance to piercing damage from nonmagical attacks.

Ragpicker
A ragpicker is made of a jumble of clothes, cloaks, hats, gloves, and boots of different sizes, styles, and materials as if someone had emptied a wardrobe and used its contents to make a humanoid shape, or if a coat rack had suddenly sprung to life. Ragpickers like to change their configuration and often show different garments at various times of the day or in different contexts, making good use of feathers, shawls, and bizarre choices of colors and accessories.

Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 1.

Extravagant Influence. A ragpicker is made of clothes and accessories of every kind, that might be useful any time, in any situation. A ragpicker knows the friends and guidance cantrips.

Resistant Structure. You have resistance to bludgeoning damage from nonmagical attacks.

Scrapper
These Arcimboldos are made of scrap metal, kitchen or blacksmith tools, metal instruments, weapons, and armor. All these items, though, are part of their bodies and cannot be detached and used freely. Their body is obviously sturdy and resistant (albeit a little noisy).

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 1.

Extravagant Influence. A scrapper is mostly made of working tools and instruments. You know the resistance and mending innate cantrips.

Resistant Structure. You have resistance to slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.
