Fuzzpile

The Fuzzpile split from its ancestor. It is named for a change to its growth pattern; namely, it now has more leaves and berries all along its trunk, causing it to look like a pile of fuzzy leaves with many blue berries. It is present in a great number of habitats, due to it becoming extremely useful to the Seashrog; though its berries being waterproof, sticky, and almost glue-like has little functional use for its spread inland, this feature is selected for because Seashrogs will harvest large amounts of these berries for use in construction, which makes them a major contributor to the species’ otherwise ludicrous spread. It retains the adaptive trunk of its ancestor, but the change in shape is not externally visible due to its full coat of leaves.

Outside of the beaches, the Fuzzpile can be found in younger forest growth and scattered around shrublands. Though preyed on often, its ridiculous number of berries—in the tens of millions over its lifetime—ensure that it will continue to survive and spread.
