Aloeberacteus

Evolving within the arid depths of Vivus Island, the aloeberacteus is a flora well-adapted to harsh conditions. Unlike its ancestors, this flora possesses a thick, almost rubber-like skin covered in a waxy coating that reduces moisture loss, as well as make life miserable for those that would attempt to eat it, such as young frilled greenscales. Highly resilient when it comes to withstanding droughts, the aloeberacteus patiently waits for the rains to come, their thin roots - spread out just beneath the surface - absorbing whatever moisture should come by. When the rains finally do arrive, these arid flora flourish, producing many little 'bulbs' that fall off and role away, where they will then hopefully take root and mature. During these times adult aloeberacteus can expand to three times their normal size as they become waterlogged.
