Ancestor:Descendants:

The mountain cellulosebane split from its ancestor, the rainforest cellulosebane. Its doubled in size and has adapted to colder climate and higher elevations. There it dominated and took over just like its ancestor did to Slarti River and Slarti Marsh. Like its ancestor it has a chemical that not only restrict the growth of non-crystal flora but dissolves cellulose! Unlike purple flora and black flora, which are made of cellulose, crystal flora is made of photosynthetic chitin on the outside and a red fungus-like cells on the inside thus making them immune to this chemical. In addition, its airborne spores are covered in this chemical. Thus they are fatal to plents who breathe them in, since their bodies are made of cellulose like flora. Each of their crystal branches can open up and release their spores. The effect of this chemical has caused the following species to become extinct in its range; hibernating carnofern, scavengundi, sunstalk, woolly xenobee, triplestalk, tetheredstalk, parasite ballstalk, boraint, green snarf, spiky plentplaque, snow puff, doublestalk, chunky pipent, sporeworm, worm phlyer, funeral pipent, stinging glassball, vegecrawler, thument, hypnodrak, umbrellapuff, taigashroot and prikkum.
