Leafmen
The Leafmen are inert but conspicuously lifelike topiaries found throughout Il Mheg on The First, resulting from the affliction of a transformative Pixie enchantment upon a mortal being. This transformation is believed to be permanent. They were first introduced to Final Fantasy XIV with the Shadowbringers expansion, and are a concept that later content such as the Pixie Daily Quests have briefly continued to explore. Post-Endwalker content for Patch 6.3 included a new Custom Deliveries client featuring a Leafman named "Anden".

Notable or Named Leafmen
Knight of Voeburt
“You've placed the sword? My thanks. Lest you wonder, that leafman was once a knight of Voeburt. A valiant soul who remained to protect the castle from sin eaters while others fled around him. While he fought bravely, he was ultimately wounded by a creature with the touch. But ere he could turn into a monster, a pixie transformed him into a leafman. Callous though they can be, pixies can understand the desire to protect one's home. That's why they took pity on the knight and spared him a fate worse than death. I was there too. But frozen by fear as I was, I could do naught but watch. Ashamed, I swore to the knight that, one day, I will find a way to cure him. Until that day comes, I look after his sword, ensuring that it's always ready for his use again. To be sure, I could have as easily taken the sword back myself, but I wanted you to know of the knight and his sacrifice. He also would've enjoyed the company of a fellow mortal, I believe.
Anden
“So, Anden, what do you think of your flock now? Oh, you're not familiar? Anden was a shepherd who used to live on a cliff overlooking Longmirror Lake. He really loved his sheep, and stayed to care for them in Il Mheg to the very end.
