Glanchorp

Invasive and delicious, nature rarely makes anything with a trait that would encourage other things eat it as a desirable result, at least not while expecting it to survive.

Origin: "Unnamed Island"

Progenitor: Norjak, Bringer of Spawn

Traits:

Magically Edible; The fruit of the Glanchorp provides a surprising degree of sustenance to anything that eats it. Even carnivores or insectivores have been known to eat the Glanchorp with little hesitation, despite it being outside of the animals normal grazing habits. all parts of the plant are edible including bark, roots and spores, despite its apparent nature.

Spore Cloud production; Many fungal plants are known to propagate through the use of spore clouds, dispersing seeds over a wide area and into the wind ensuring a second generation survives. Highly invasive; able to grow into nearly any surface with nutrient value the Glanchorp out-competes local plants to the point of starvation, then grows on its withered husk. Larger plants might be host to several hundred instances of the Glanchorp before succumbing to its parasite like behavior, though it has never been seen growing from mobile organisms.""Description: An odd evolution of plants local to the fungal forests near Nosh Karnic, features a rough yet supple bark that is easy to chew, a spongy pulp as its flesh and bizarre pustule like fruits filled with a purple syrup-like liquid. Often eaten by all kinds of wandering animals as part of its life cycle as the syrup contains dormant jelly coated spores which will begin flowing over two weeks after being passed through even the most intense digestive tracts. While it can grow larger colonies on plants that have fallen to the "carpet" that occurs, an individual plant never exceeds 1m in height. In larger networks, plants have been shown to support weaker specimens with nutrients pulled from other plants via a root network, often leading to Glanchorp colonies smothering all surrounding plant life quite quickly.

The Glanchorp can only grow under tropical conditions, as a high humidity is necessary to maintain its cellular integrity. Seeds are rendered nonviable once dehydrated. Coastal winds are an effective containment mechanism.
