Tuvid

The Tuvid is a plant that naturally grows in Esrei. It is used for communication, predominently in Alsine where it is massively grown.

Appearance
The Tuvid is a small flowery bush from which a big, oval, purple leaf grows. Each bush has a different set of colors for the flowers, some may have only one color.

All observable colors are: Blue, Yellow, Red, Green, White, Purple, Brown, Orange, (very rarely) Black.

Survival
The Tuvid attracts smaller criters with its flowers and sprays poison directly at them when close enough. It bends its leaf and grabs the corpse like a hand and sucks the blood, which it uses for water and nutrition.

Reproduction
The plant grows roots in the ground that travel for very long distances (longest recorded distance is 78.3 kilometeres) and grows another, identical bush where the root exits. The new plant is connected to the original plant, and whatever is imprinted on the leaf will reciprocate on the other leaf, which is how Alsines use it for mass communication.

Function
The Tuvid is used by Alsines in mass communication, using its imitation power. A messenger will write a message on the leaf, and the receiver will be able to see the message in around 30 seconds. Since the message appears silently, most people check the leaf every hour to see if there is a message. Government and private establishments, however, use a *BIRD* that is trained to make notify nearby subjects by making a special noise.
