The '''desert chitinbane''' split from its ancestor, the [[chitinbane]]. It has adapted to the arid environments of the Ittiz region. Like its ancestor, it produces a deadly defense, its sap, with a high concentration of "[[Biochemistry#Chitinase|chitinase]]". Chitinase are digestive enzymes that break down glycosidic bonds in chitin, thus dissolving chitin. Chitin is what makes the exoskeleton of "[[~~Worm|worms~~]]" and "[[~~Pede|pedes~~]]". Thus any "worm" or "pede" that tries to bite on it with their mandibles will quickly have them melt off. [[Plent~~|Plents~~]], [[ukfauna]], [[carpozoa]] and iron fauna are unaffected by this sap. In fact it grows a bubble of sap at the top of their leaves that is easily popable so these other species can wipe the sap on their bodies so they can be protected from "worm" and "pede" predators.

Its large root bulb which can store up energy and water when times are hard. This is very useful in an arid environment. These sugary bulbs can be tasty for herbivores as well. They are rich in the chitin-disloving chemical. As long as there are some cells left it can regrow into a full plant again.
