Description
This creature is but the last stage of its cycle of life. The burgeon ivy puppets the corpse of the host it grew out of. In this stage of the plants life it will roam around picking meaningless fights until it is slain. When this creature dies it body acts as nutrients for the seeds it carries inside its body. From these seed the next generation of burgeon ivy plants will grow. The plant stage of the ivy is unlike most ivy in the sense it bears large apple size fruit. This fruit is sweet but always end up causing some digestive problems after about an hour. Any creature unfortunate enough to eat its fruit will be eating a fruit that doesn’t carry any seeds but carries a parasite that will infect those who consume the fruit. The parasite stage will be unnoticed by its host until it’s too late. The parasite will slowly grow through out the host body, and keeping the host alive at all costs. Once the parasite is ready the creature is helpless to stop the parasite from controlling the hosts body, after that the vines of the parasite will continue to grow, and bursting through the skin and opening like the mouth. At this point the plant has grown into the creature stage and the cycle repeats.
