The success of its ancestor in the desert and savanna areas have been carried along to the Stickyball-Crown Shrub. The Stickyball-Crown Shrub gets its name from the shape that the Stickyballs form. Besides the size and larger number of Stickyballs in a patch, the Stickyball-Crown Shrub has something else that sets it apart. When attacked, the Stickyball-Crown Shrub releases a chemical that makes it taste very bad to most herbivores and omnivores. Besides being a defense mechanism, this chemical causes all nearby shrubs to release their own chemicals. Though not a real form of communication, these little balls show the possibility to eventually do so, many mutations down the line.
