The End Fruit

Species: The End Fruit

Family: Plant

Risk level: Low/High

Weaknesses: Fire, Decay

Description: It is not much different from normal berries growing in the forests, with the exception of its unusual coloration. Instead of green stem it is deep purple, which makes it easily recognisable among normal vegetation. It is known for its extremely deadly fruits, which can cause death of fully grown adult in no more than few seconds of consumption. Anything living, even other monsters, that eat its fruits meet the same fate in very similar time period. It wouldn't be much different from normal deadly plants, that grow in that areas, if not for what happens after the creatures die from its juices.

The corpse turns into a literal trap, which kills anything that touchess it or comes close enough to inhale the gases it produces. It is the same effect as after the ingestion of the fruits. The more bodies the faster is the spread of the toxin. Uncontroled it can wipe out entire towns in span of a single night. Thankfully, animals learned to avoid this plant as far as possible and there is an easy method to get rid of it, which as usual to plant monsters involves fire. The bodies in turn are rendered safe from more toxins after the decay processes deep enough, which disolves the chemicals inside of it. Any sightings of this plant are to be reported as to any authorities or groups like Blood Hunt.

Personal notes: "The neurotoxin this monster produces is rather curious sample. It behaves like few known diseases, instead of normal toxins. It is able to produce on its own more chemicals required to process more of itself and use it to spread onto more bodies. We also found why it doesn't spread its toxic fumes when in basic form, or doesn't spread onto other plants. The poison inside of it requires a specific combination of biological substances current inside animals. In less scientifical words it needs flesh to spread further. Maybe we can use it to produce airborne cures, allowing us to permanently erase some of the diseases." Dr. Lich, member of Diseased Order
