Obsidibomb

The obsidibomb replaced its ancestor, doubling in size and spreading to all woodland biomes of Barlowe.

Its major change is its method of reproduction. Like its ancestor it produced its spores inside spherical chambers on its top; however when these chambers are ready to release their contents they detach from the flora and fall to the ground; the chambers have a tough outer coating to protect them in the fall. This allows some of the spores to get closer to the ground in the flora's vicinity while others will float farther away. To assist the chambers' rolling distance, the flora's leaves have become thicker, sturdier, and slope slightly downwards.

Individuals live for upwards of 50 years. Spores take a week to germinate and 5 years to reach maturity. Individuals produce 2 sets of three spore chambers in their lifetime, each chamber taking 4 years to fully grow.
