Potfolk, also known as pot kin, are a species in the Magical Vacation series. They are found across the universe and interact with the party in many ways, mainly inhabiting Gazpacho Village on the Death Plane and Paella on Razen.
Profile
Potfolk come in three types: HP Pot (ＨＰ回復のツボ), MP Pot (ＭＰ回復のツボ), and Dubious Pot (あやしいツボ).
HP Pots are round in shape with green bodies, a yellow stripe along their face, and beady blue eyes. They collect rainwater that can be consumed to restore HP. Burst Pots (はじけるのツボ) are potfolk sculpted by brownies that look similar to HP Pots, but serve to block pathways.
MP Pots are slim and brown, producing oil that replenishes MP.
Dubious Pots are bulbous and red with blue triangular patterning, evil glares, fanged teeth, and tongues. They come in four subtypes: Kiyakota Pots (キヤコタのツボ), Kiyameruka Pots (キヤメルカのツボ), Kiyakisu Pots (キヤキスのツボ), and Kiyashikaua Pots (キヤシカゥアのツボ). These subtypes appear at the Pyramid, Rakyūo, Moginasu Magic Grotto, and Garam Masala respectively.
As for their culture, potfolk are born every 200 years during the Starfall Festival, an event on Razen in which Terra Cotta sculpts vessels that come to life with Elder Kettle's prayer. Potfolk seem to be fascinated by the oddities of reality, seeing themselves as windows into the entire universe, and are quick to voice their opinions in a straightforward and sometimes blunt manner. Due to being made of earth, they fear the possibility of shattering.
The names of potfolk come from various types of pots, jars, bottles, and pottery ware.
