Concept art of a Rotoa tree.

We have two indexes of all the flora that can be found on Atys:

• One exclusively on intelligent plants,
• And the unaggressive flora detailed by ecosystem:

This section lists the flora of Atys as it appears to the laymen homin. Note that many of this 'flora' isn't even really plants, but actually fungi or even immobile animals. But you'd have to dabble in botany a bit before you realise this.

The flora you may run into varies immensely based on the ecosystem of the continent you're in. Only a few plants appear in multiple ecosystems (like the Olansi tree that appears in both desert and lakelands). Thus the flora is classified by ecosystem.

Main Ecosystem(s)	Forest, Jungle & Desert (rare)
Counterattack type	Pierce & Poison

A large intelligent plant with fleshy leaves, a cratcha can fully rotate its flower thanks to a thin, flexible stem.

When threatened the cratcha's single flower is thrust forth and spits a deadly, viscous substance, strewn with barbels, that sticks to the victim. poisoned substance. Movement of its pistils gives indication of impending attack.

Mostly found in the Witherings and the Verdant Heights, it is rare in desert areas.^[1]

Fyros Legend

The Great Tree is immortal, and its ashes, once cooled, regain their vitality. From the ashes come flowers and fruits. The flora spreads towards the sky in the hope of reaching other planets.

Matis Myth

All the vegetation was born from the hands of the Matis. These agile artists sculpted each of the elegant leaves of Atys. The Goo, or more rarely the original chaos, is responsible for any malformation.

Tryker Myth

The Seed has many offshoots that form the vegetation of Atys. Plants are not so cooperative with the capricious Kamis, but the Kamis nevertheless use them to generate and then feed their creatures. But the Flora of Atys needs protection. Otherwise the homin civilizations will perish, leaving nothing but the bestial prosperity of the corrupted Goo…

  Beware Atysians! Some plants have shown signs of intelligence, finding ways to communicate with other thinking species. From there to knowing if their message is peaceful or malicious, it's up to you to find out...

However, the eight botanical families listed below should help you to find your way through the teeming flora of Atys.

• Algae
• Aquaplants
• Fungi
• Herbs
• Mosses
• Roots
• Shrubs
• Stipes (false trunks)

You should also know that all Atys plants that are not (or not only) members of these families are listed in the “pseudo-family” Special plants.
