Informational: Deep Sea Plants by Mirromy

Informational: Deep Sea Plants

Mirromy

A few of the commonly cultivated types of plants that grow in the deep sea areas of Irrim. The names in parentheses are the Mirromic name for it if I have decided on one.

1) Glow Lanterns ("Loro-y" or "glowing orb life form")

Related to the reef plant Orb Weed ("Taro-y" or "High orb lifeform"), these are sometimes used for similar purposes, however they are also used as lanterns and lights to mark points of interest. Typically they are not used for fertilizer for other plants, as the larger orbs contain high concentrations of compounds that other plants may find harmful.

2) Pit Whip ("Erueedy" or "Mouth Whip lifeform")

Related to the common Whip Lantern ("Eruuy" or "whip lifeform"). These are much more dangerous. They can be several feet across. The only part of them that glows is a little tendril right below the whip that softly catches in currents. When it is touched, the plant smacks the whip down. Shoving is stunned prey into it's lantern where down facing barbs kill it and slowly digest it. It is only cultivated for it's strong barbs as weapons.

4)Shard Coral ()

Hardened structures with holes filter minerals through them in strong currents. The insides of each hole are filled with many small faintly glowing fibers. It is commonly cultivated as firm posts for houses, as even once the plant is dead it's shell is very durable for long periods.

5) Barbed Pulpit ("Dori-ry" or "around edge lifeform")

Though the Mirromy call the same and use it similar as the reef type of Pulpit Plant. It does grow taller, and it's body is also covered in small red spines. Usually somewhere along it's base is a thick red spine. It uses it to deter things from touching the orb. Which it still has a sticky burning film on the orb if touched. The plant uses this film to catch minerals and spores from other Dori-ry for proliferation and food.
