Bellowbush

The Bellowbush is a small, sprawling green bush found in various regions of Alterra. It is characterized by its dense foliage and clusters of small, harmless white flowers that bloom throughout the year. The bush’s structure is low to the ground, with branches that spread outward rather than upward, creating a wide, leafy carpet. Despite its unassuming appearance, the Bellowbush possesses a unique magical property: when disturbed, it emits a low, resonant hum that can be heard from a significant distance.

This hum is not just a simple sound; it has a calming effect on nearby creatures, reducing aggression and inducing a sense of tranquility. This makes the Bellowbush an important plant in areas where tensions run high, such as near settlements or along frequently traveled paths. Animals and people who come into contact with the bush often find themselves feeling more at ease, making it a natural deterrent to conflicts in its vicinity.
