Fire Vine (Plant)

"Fire Vines", real name lost to the sands of time, are dangerous plants that can only be found on Fhrorr.

Age
Fire vines have been around presumably since plants first appeared on Fhrorr, which would insist that they are several millions of years old. A fire vine can live for several hundred years before withering away to dust.

Size
Fire vines can grow treacherously long. The average length of one fire vine can vary from 5 feet to 30 feet.

Dangers
Fire vines are named for their incredibly hot surface. When they are being eaten, the plant will release a highly flammable liquid and, if hot enough outside, will burn both the eater and the plant. Fire vines will do this even if they are merely being touched, and the liquid is very hard to wash off. About 2,000 Shadows every year die from fire vines all over Category II, and triple that amount live with terrible burns.

Location
Fire vines can only grow in hot places, such as Category II of Fhrorr - where there are deserts all over the place that can get to unbearably high temperatures. They tend to grow in a horizontal line, so places where there are vehicles moving around constantly are at risk of running over a fire vine and burning the vehicle.
