Flora And Fauna

Flora And Fauna 1. Hydraatis

The hydraatis grows in dry, rocky areas. Air is filtered through its filaments, which trap dust and bacteria. Once filtered, the filaments contract to lock clean air inside, creating a humid environment where the hydraatis can absorb the small amount of water it needs to survive.

Flora And Fauna 2. Mushlings

Mushlings are an essential ingredient in the ink Nightsisters and Nightbrothers use for their tattoos. The mushlings pods are boiled down until they become a thick, yellowish paste. From there clay, ash, or other pigments are mixed in to create a variety of colors.

Flora And Fauna 3. The Lair Of The Nydak

The lesser nydak is a feared opponent for Nightbrothers, though legends say some Nightsisters kept them as familiars. Nydaks are solitary creatures, rarely seen in packs after adolescence. Their only natural predator is the massive Gorgara.

Flora And Fauna 4. Spider Domestication

Nightbrothers only recently began efforts to domesticate the bane back spider. Without the Nightsisters' magickal antivenoms, the task has occasionally proven deadly. However, if a spider is captured young and raised alongside a Nightbrother, it will bond with him and become a lasting companion.

Flora And Fauna 5. Fire Lichen

Fire lichen grows naturally in the dry climate of Dathomir. Its bright red color comes from the absorption of sulfur and other dust particles in the air. The Dathomirian variety is so resilient it's nearly impossible to rip from the rock.

Flora And Fauna 6. Brula Fruit

Brula fruit was a common reagent in Nightsister potions. In small doses, its nectar could act as an antivenom to the bites of Dathomir's many poisonous snakes. Overconsumption, however, resulted in symptoms of 'swamp madness' - convulsions, blurred vision, and hallucinations.

Flora And Fauna 7. Bleeding Gut

Unlike other Dathomirian fungi, the bleeding gut does not reproduce using spores. Instead their cells divide spontaneously, gradually forming small pods which burst open when fully matured. Some varieties have been known to grow extra stalks.
