Marbleflora

The marbleflora group replaced its ancestors the polar hydroglobe, maineiac hydroglobe, violetglobe, sandglobe, beachglobe, spotted hydroglobe, colonialball, molted hydroglobe, boball, ringed terraglobe, stalkglobe, volvoglobe, bogaglobe, and saltglobe. They are the typical hydroglobe who are just a primitive photosynthetic sphere with no roots. Like most purple flora they have purple chloroplasts and convert yellow sunlight. Despite them more or less all being spherical they do come in a variety of patterns ranging from spots to stripes to a solid purple.

Those with stripes or spots usually are toxic in some way. How poisonous depends upon the individual species and how much they are fed upon in their ecosystem. They also cover most biome types ranging from hot wet rainforests to cold and dry tundras. They even can grow in rivers and the ocean. As long as they can receive sunlight they can grow most anywhere.

They are typically found in clusters be it on the side of rocks, other flora or even clustered together on the surface of water. They grow extremely fast and have very resistant spores. This can sometimes be a plague in biomes where they can literally cover the surfaces of other flora causing them to die from lack of sunlight. However this means they are a key part of many ecosystems since they are so abundant and easily eaten (if not toxic). In short they adapt quickly to any environment they find themselves in and are one of the first to recover after disasters.
