Corpse Drinkers

Apart from Azaths another species feeding on carrions from beyond the portal was discovered to appear in clusters—a unique type of plant. They have long stems that are strongly anchored into the ground. Meanwhile, their roots reach so deep, that removing the plant is practically impossible. Of course, the part that resides above ground may sometimes be trimmed by a roaming bone hurricane, but their fast growth rate allows them to regenerate after just a couple of days. They grow above the ground to a height of 4 to 12 feet. Adult specimens can live for up to 200–500 years.   These plants are not only exceptionally long-lived but also like to occasionally consume a gigantic amount of meat. Similar to snakes, they can endure without food for a very long time. Like snakes, they absorb “food,” and digest it for weeks. The essence from these plants, called “Desert Blood,” has healing properties. However, it requires basic knowledge of medicine. Travelers often look out for whether the bone hurricane does not pass by the oasis. After it calms down, travelers will look to see if they can find the severed upper part of the plant, so they won't have to fight in order to get the “Desert Blood.”
