Notable for its long, wood-like stalks, the Irida Orb is a transgenic fungus capable of rapidly changing its surface to its benefit. This is often seen as the fungus will change its surface darker or lighter in response to the amount of light it is receiving, to enable it to grow in a wide array of conditions that would otherwise be deadly.

This fungus gives Xeros the Split trait! This item can only be obtained through special donation events and prompts.

Renown for its incredibly smooth surface and brilliant color, the jewel berry leaves no question as to the origin of its name. Unlike many organisms, its color is not produced by pigments but instead via structural color- in which structures physically scatter light into spectacular, glittery colors. A refreshing tart flavor makes the jewel berry a culinary centerpiece in many dishes, and its unique physical structures are studied and replicated by researches for everything from eco-friendly paints to special light-reflecting glass.

An excellent example of anemochory, the seeds of the Samara tree use their characteristic fibrous wings to slow their descent and hopefully spread. They are often seen spiraling down in huge numbers during the fall months in Jurupa, making it a popular seasonal travel destination!

Consuming this gives Xeros the Frilled Ears Trait!

The spine-covered spikul fruit grows from a very tall, cactus-like plant. Instead of using them for defense, the spines serve a different purpose entirely; they act as perches for small flying animals that eat pest insects off of the plant. When harvested, the sturdy, colorful spines are removed prior to eating and can be used for many purposes, such as needles for fabric crafts, writing instruments, eating utensils, or just for decoration.

This fruit gives Xeros the Saber Fangs trait! This item can only be purchased during the Twilight Carnival.

A hearty plant known for flowering in the winter but is also crafted into a popular tea. The plant produces a stalk capable of pushing through dense snow, and deploys modified bracts that are both exceptionally dense and colorful. These are collected by a small species of snow crab in a mutualistic exchange: the crab receives insulating protection from the elements, and the thistle distributes its seeds much further.

This plant gives Xeros the Fur Pads trait! This item is given out during events and prompts.

The virgule is one of the Atropa mushrooms, cultivated for its brilliant colors used primarily as a natural dye for textiles. While not a wild species, it has made its way into several communities, with some even enjoying its reportedly extreme sour flavor, especially as a powdered spice.

This mushroom gives Xeros the Horizontal Pupils trait!

A sour, juicy fruit from a desert region, the mult plant has evolved a fruit with a covering of long, thick bristles to protect it from its harsh environment. As the fruit ripens, the bristles begin to fall off, and the sour fruit attracts large animals that will disperse its seed. The plant puts all of its water and energy into producing the extremely juicy mult fruit, and so after producing a single fruit, it withers away. It has been used for its strong flavor as an additive to drinks for centuries.

This fruit gives Xeros the Hairless trait! This item can only be purchased during the Twilight Carnival.

Initially found to be useful in cosmetic and clothes dying, this curious fungus found a completely new use when a curious scientist mistook it for a similar sweeter verity of mushroom, causing their enamel to stain permanently.

With this new discovery, aliens from all around Owai-6 have been using the Sugar Drop to dye their teeth wild colors as a new type of fashion statement!

The only toll for these Colored Teeth is the taste of the acidic and bitter Sugar Drop is difficult to forget and wash out once consumed.

Can be consumed to gain the Colored Teeth trait.

The goodroop fruit also relies on animals to disperse its seeds, but its super minty taste is extremely unpleasant to all small, fruit-eating creatures on its native planet. Instead, its incredibly sticky, gooey outer coating traps small insect-like organisms to its surface, creating a tasty treat irresistible to larger carnivores, who can't digest the small pit of the fruit. Its powerful, minty flavor & cooling chemicals make it a popular ingredient in many dishes and desserts.

This fruit gives Xeros the Slimy Skin trait! This item can only be purchased during the Twilight Carnival.

One of the members of the Atropa genus of fungus, its fruiting body was traditionally used in the production of dyes due to the vivid colors present, as well as the occasional recipe. Featuring a deep earthy flavor profile, some have started to utilize its unique taste to produce some trendy beverages.

This mushroom gives Xeros the Slit Pupils trait!

There's no surprise where this danger fruit got its name; despite its somewhat small size it packs a huge punch. Originally adapted to ward off pest insects, the pepper contains several powerful alkaloids that create a severe burning sensation on contact. However, where most animals shy away, adventurous Alurizans instead use the pepper's tremendous heat to flavor all sorts of foods, either with the fruit directly or by fashioning it into an array of flavorful sauces!

This fruit gives Xeros the Aposematic trait!

After pollination, the flower closes to protect the developing seed within, which increases tension on its spring as it grows. Fully dried, the outer shell can barely hold in the pressure from the seed, causing a slight disturbance to set off a chain reaction of exploding pods. Golf ball sized and spring-tailed, seeds disperse with enough force to leave a decent sided bruise on unsuspecting victims. Despite the danger in harvesting, the coil fibers make excellent tensile material for any number of crafts and the seed has found its way into many dishes, savored for its refreshing, earthy crunch!

This seed gives Xeros the Retractable Claws trait!

A very common berry that fruits nearly year-round on Owai-6. The ru berry grows on deep, reddish purple leafy vines that are commonly seen growing on buildings, fences, and other structures. The berry is small, with a stem growing between the two protrusions at the top. The flesh of the berry is soft, with a hollow pocket at the center filled with a tangy juice. Ru berries are eaten frequently on their own as a sweet snack, as well as made into various candies. The juice is also used to flavor beverages, and even to create blue dyes.

This berry gives Xeros the Antennae trait!

This succulent is known across Owai for its captivating coloration but also as a culinary staple. The dense fluid inside is drained from harvested leaves and dried into a delicious gourmet sugar for use across Aluriza!

This fruit gives Xeros the Spines trait!

When a Korso is born, the family is given a piece of a Psi'ttash to plant. This hearty, cormous plant would grow throughout the year and would be harvested and eaten on the Korso's life day, always leaving enough of the base and roots for it to regrow again. The corm's flavor was often influenced by the growing conditions of that year, so it was considered appropriate to think about the previous year and reflect on what to be appreciative of. Once the corm is consumed, the base is replanted for the next year.

This fruit gives Xeros the Round Ears trait!

The lioa berry has a very mild, almost savory flavor. Diced or pureed, it makes a great topping on a number of dishes, but it's also a great snack on its own. The tassels hanging from the bottom of the berry contain its seeds; these can be removed and eaten separately, or sprinkled on top of meals or smoothies.

This berry gives Xeros the Tufted Tail trait!

The nio berry is a tiny, ridged berry that grows on curly vines. The fruit is colorful, and has a strong, tart flavor, though it is not as sour as the ru berry. When bitten into, the berry's pink and purple outside give way to a deeper purple, almost black inside. Care must be taken when eating or picking these berries to avoid staining clothing. Because of this, the berry is usually snipped higher up the stem, rather than risking a possible leak from plucking the berry itself. This berry's dark juice can be used to create inks, dyes, and paint.

This berry gives Xeros the Folded Ears trait!

The widd berry is a round, green berry that grows out of drooping, downwards-facing flowers. As the flowers wither, they form a shell that covers and protects most of the berry. This fruit has a gentle, floral taste, and soft flesh. The flower shell can be peeled off and powdered for use as an additive in baking.

This berry gives Xeros the Lop Ears trait!
