Name: Snapstalk

Habitat: Snapstalks can be found in damp and shaded areas, particularly in forests and swamps. They prefer nutrient-rich soil and ample moisture to grow. Most common in the forests of Atinaw and the Vale

Rarity: Snapstalks are relatively rare, as they require very specific conditions to grow. They are often sought after by those who know of their medicinal properties, but few have the knowledge to successfully cultivate them.

Threat:Medium To High Snapstalks are a significant threat to humans, as they are man-sized flowers with snapping jaws capable of wounding even a fully grown human. They are aggressive, and will attack if anything enters the range of their bite.

Description: The Snapstalk is a single stalked flower that can grow up to 10 feet in height. The stem is thick and sturdy, with large light blue leaves growing out of it. The flower itself is a bright blue color, with a large bulbous head that contains the snapping jaws. The jaws are lined with sharp, pointed teeth and are capable of closing with enough force to break bones.

Biome Role: Snapstalks play a key role in their environment, as they are carnivorous and help to control the population of smaller animals in their habitat. They are also a source of food for larger predators.

Aging & Reproduction: Snapstalks have a very long lifespan and can grow to enormous sizes if left unchecked. They reproduce through pollination, which occurs when insects are attracted to the flower's sweet nectar.

Size: Snapstalks can grow up to 10 feet in height, with a flower head that can reach up to 3 feet in diameter.

Abilities and Features: The Snapstalk's fruit is highly prized for its delicious taste and nutritional value. The fruit is similar in flavor to a combination of pineapple and mango, with a slightly tart aftertaste. The root of the Snapstalk has alchemic properties that can strengthen a person's vocal cords, making their voice more powerful and resonant. The root is often used in potions and elixirs that are consumed by singers and performers.

Cultural Significance (If applicable): Snapstalks have a significant cultural significance in some societies, particularly those that value vocal performance. In these societies, the root of the Snapstalk is highly prized and can fetch a high price on the black market.

Reasons to interact: Snapstalks are a dangerous but valuable resource, making them a potential target for adventurers and alchemists. Those who are skilled in botany may also be interested in studying the unique properties of the plant.

Recommended Stats for harvest and cultivation if possible: Harvesting Snapstalks is a dangerous task that requires specialized equipment and knowledge. Those who attempt to harvest them without proper preparation and protection risk serious injury or death. Cultivating Snapstalks is also difficult, as they require very specific conditions to grow. Those who are skilled in alchemy and botany may be able to successfully cultivate them, but it requires significant expertise and resources.[googlefont]
