Obsidian Shrub

The obsidian shrub split from its ancestor the salty sunstalk and adapted to life in the Barlowe-Dixon Temperate Rainforest. There with more sunlight, warmer climate and abundant rain it was able grow huge leaves to soak up the sunlight. These leaves now have primitive veins in order to help support its larger size. Even the trunk has become stronger to help sport the weight of the larger leaves.

Like their ancestor they produces many airborne spores out of this chamber. The clouds are so abundant that they cause an orange haze around large colonies. The spores combine in the air. This allows for greater genetic diversity among the population. They still grow bulb-like roots that can store up energy during droughts or cold weather.
