    The document provides descriptions of several unusual plant species found in the desert region of Vaarn. In 3 sentences: Prickly pear cacti choke out other vegetation with their petroleum-colored fronds, while demon weed drains the moisture from animals unlucky enough to come into contact with its tongue-like polyps. Doppeldil resembles mangrove trees and can clone any creature that eats from it, triggering care responses, before bursting into seeds. The document also mentions banana trees, a re-engineered potato, and pleasure bulbs genetically modified for sensory experiences.

    DOPPELDIL is an invasive species that resembles a

    mangrove tree. Rapidly clones a neonate of any

    who eat from the tree, triggering care responses

    in some species. The neonate will burst into

    seeds several days later. Scientific consensus is

    that this was a last-ditch effort by a long-

    vanished civilisation to hold back climatological

    upheaval.

    THE BANANA TREE is a common staple plant of Vaarn.

    Unpleasant taste and texture. Best served to

    children and other’s lacking sound judgement. Some

    archeotechs have conjectured that this is a crop


    of old Urth, but recent research has conclusively

    put this folk tale to bed. Nothing so evil tasting

    could have sprung naturally from Urth’s humble

    soil.

    IT’S A NORMAL POTATO BUT THEN SOME LIKE

    BAD MATHEMATICS HAPPENED TO IT. AFTER

    THAT IT WAS SENT AWAY TO SPACE BUT

    WOULDN’T YOU KNOW IT CAME BACK IT IS NOW

    SHAPED LIKE A PERFECT 2 SIDED TRIANGLE.

    Do not look at this plant or even think

    about it

    PLEASURE BULBS are a gene-sculpt dating to the

    High Autarky. Synthetic tubers laced with

    pleasure engrams and dopamine emitters. Some

    crops can be spoiled by nootropic interference,

    which curdles the pleasure engrams, making for

    an unforgettable and undesirable experience.


    Also called NIGHTMARE BOYS for this reason. The

    latter can still fetch a high price for those

    willing to trade with cacklemaw warbands.
