Obsidibend

The Obsidibend split from its ancestor, populating the rather empty beaches of Eastern Dixon. While it is very similar to its ancestor, there are several key differences. It has developed a more segmented, flexible trunk, which lets it bend in strong winds without snapping; its leaves have an extra joint as well for this purpose. It will release its spores when bent by the wind, giving its spores a better chance of spreading farther. These adaptations allowed it to outcompete its ancestor, the obsiditree, on the southern Dass beaches.
