Invasive Sisters (Bog Crawler Plants)

Eastside Swampreeds - Sludgewater Leafbush - Dark Mudferns

Invasive species of plants.

The Invasive Sisters are most known for their parasitic-like behavior of dropping their seeds on the backs of Bog Crawlers which regularly chomp on their leaves/roots for food.

They are highly invasive due to Bog Crawlers spraying them in every hole and crevices they venture into while the seeds are launched off their backs.

The seeds Invasive Sisters are similar to how a potato grows : into any surface, anywhere, anytime, any condition. (Seeds have been found growing inside of hot sand in a desert and the plants blooming not long after).

The plants themselves are pretty fragile to climate though as they cannot live in dry areas where water is rare for longer than a full 24h, after which they will dehydrate fully and start getting smaller, reversing the blooming process and turning back into seeds, although these seeds will never bloom again as the first try was a failure.

Their extensive behavior is fairly easy, they get dropped on Bog Crawlers' backs feeding on adult plants, get dropped off onto any surface and immediatly start rooting themselves in the ground, they will then start a quick growth that will get them big enough to take in the oxygen and start the second growth phase where they slowly grow in only a minute to their full maximum size, after which they are officially adults and start producing seeds and taking huge amounts of oxygen in, artificially lowering the amounts in whichever area they grew in and therefore suffocating surrounding fauna.

In order to grow and/or generate new seeds, they require oxygen, this means they can freely live in the depths of the deepest caves that exists and not die due to them mainly feeding on very little nutrients stored in the ground and rocks.

Sludgewater Leafbushes spray particles of pollen all around the air in order to pollinate other plants and themselves, these can easily cause coughing and allergic reactions that can are easily deadly.

Eastside Swampreeds are purely inoffensive and do not cause any harm to humans and even seen as domestic plants on quite a few moons.

Dark Mudferns are pretty dangerous as they emit some sort of megnetic signal and cover radars, thus making visibility on machines quite hard when those are around, hopefully all that's required to get rid of it is to simply get rid of the plant itself which itself is the hard part.
