Akton Bush

The Akton Bush is a yellow-orange shrub native to the savannahs of Alterra, characterized by its unique adaptation of having bones integrated into its stem and leaves. These bones are not only structural but also contain a high concentration of bone marrow, making the bush a significant source of nutrients. The bones within the Akton Bush develop alongside the plant’s regular tissue, creating a hybrid structure that is both sturdy and rich in marrow. This marrow, along with the seeds contained within the bones, serves as an essential food source for various animals in the region.

Animals such as hyenas, gnolls, and vultures are particularly attracted to the Akton Bush due to their ability to consume bone marrow. These creatures are drawn to the bushes, where they gnaw on the bones, ingesting the marrow and, in the process, helping to disperse the seeds. The seeds are encased within the bones, and as the animals consume the marrow, they often carry the seeds to new locations, facilitating the spread of the Akton Bush across the savannah.
