(Have enjoyed reading Creatures of Mishna by Benjamin Quinton-Bottley for the database project, and thought I'd stat up some more plants while the memories are still fresh.)
LOST WEED (#14/30, #105/365) [TTHA]
Appearance: This
is a creeping water weed, that grows in bunches of green circular leaves.
Distribution: Found only in the Lake of the Lost, on the island of Mishna.
Effects: Two bunches of Lost Weed can be combined with a chunk of Core Fungi (see p. XX) and a harvested vine from a Monster Plant (see p. XX) to make Rhino Treats (see Creatures of Mishna, p. 20), which can be used to placate and tame both the regular Rhinoceros (see Return to the Pit, p. 154) and the rarer Black Rhino of Mishna (see Creatures of Mishna, p. 20). In addition, Lost Weed itself is a favourite food of the Thorny Frog (see Creatures of Mishna, p. 15), and can be used to tame these creatures as well.
Cost: City 3gp, Town 2gp, Village 1gp (per bunch)
CORE FUNGI (#15/30, #106/365) [TTHA]
Appearance: This
is a smooth round puffball-like fungus that is usually a pale yellow to bright gold in colour.
Distribution: The Core Caves on the island of Mishna, and possibly similar subterranean locations on other islands of the Black Ocean as well.
Effects: A chunk of Core Fungi can be combined with two bunches of Lost Weed (see p. XX) and a harvested vine from a Monster Plant (see p. XX) to make Rhino Treats (see Creatures of Mishna, p. 20), which can be used to placate and tame both the regular Rhinoceros (see Return to the Pit, p. 154) and the rarer Black Rhino of Mishna (see Creatures of Mishna, p. 20).
Cost: City 5gp, Town 3gp, Village 3gp (per chunk)
Further Notes: Core Fungi is sometimes eaten by Cave Hogs (see Creatures of Mishna, p. 8) and may be related to the Giant Puffball (see The Titan Herbal, p. 54).
GLITTER GRASS (#16/30, #107/365) [TTHA]
Appearance: This
is a longish type of grass plant, with pinkish-purple glittering leaves.
Distribution: Plains and deserts on the island of Mishna, possibly other islands of the Black Ocean as well.
Effects: Glitter Grass is the favoured food of several creatures on this island, such as the Mishnan Unicorn (see Creatures of Mishna, p. 16) and the Uni-Sheep (see Creatures of Mishna, pp. 16-17). A clump of Glitter Grass can be used to attract their attention, and may be offered to make the creature react in a more friendly way towards the holder. It is unknown if Glitter Grass has a similar effect on continental Unicorns (see Beyond the Pit, pp. 148-149) or the Black Unicorn.
Cost: City 10gp, Town 15gp, Village 20gp (per clump)
Further Notes: Glitter Grass may be related to Sleeping Grass (see The Titan Herbal, p. 60), found elsewhere across Titan, but lacks its soporific effects.
LAVA SEED (#17/30, #108/365) [TTHA]
Appearance: This
is a small glowing red-orange seed, similar to an acorn but smaller in size.
Distribution: The lava pits of the active volcano Mount Vona, tallest of the Spine Mountains on the island of Mishna, possibly other volcanic islands of the Black Ocean as well.
Effects:
The lava pits of Mount Vona have strange magical properties, and one of these is the occasional production of these mysterious seeds, found right at the edge of pools of lava. The Lava Seed (see also Creatures of Mishna, p. 20), inflicts 1-6 STAMINA damage if swallowed, but then causes the swallower's skin to harden like living rock, though it burns to the touch. The imbiber has the equivalent of Heavy Armour, takes no damage from heat or fire, and inflicts 1 STAMINA damage on anyone who hits the swallower with an unarmed or natural attack. The armour lasts for one hour before crumbling away. Given these effects, it is possible that Lava Seeds are somehow involved in the creation of Lava Ogres (see Creatures of Mishna, p. 11).
Cost: City 35gp, Town 45gp, Village 55gp (per seed)
