Salys

Salys is a plant found in Esrei

Appearance
Salys appears to be a light pink cotton ball, but it has a skeleton made out of smooth bamboo shaped like a caltrop and filled with potent poison. It looks soft, but grabbing or stepping on it can be fatal.

Survival
The Salys gets its nutrition by rolling on the ground and capturing nutrients in its cotton-like body and absorbing it. Due to low winds in Esrei, it transfers liquids from one part of its frame to another and uses gravity and inertia to roll around. The sharp frame coated with poison serves as protection.

Reproduction
Reproduction is very simple for the Salys. The male Salys leaves a trail of seed-coated liquid when it rolls, with the purpose of having a female Salys absorb it through her cotton when she rolls over the trail. The female concentrates all the seed into one part of the cotton and detaches it as a small ball that forms into a new Salys.

Function
The poison of the Salys plant is used by both domestic and foreign assassins. Since it taints the meat (Salys Poisoning) it is never used for hunting and exclusivly killing people.
