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.

Counterattack type	magical missile of cold & root

Aquaplant, the stinga is provided with a spongy stem which spreads out into long tubular growths.

Two varieties have been identified: the first grows on the edge of lakes, the second on the lake beds. The first variety is physically distinguished by its bright colours.

The Stinga, like all intelligent plants, will attack homins if it is threatened, in which case it uses a magical missile of cold.

It is found exclusively in the Lakes.^[1]

Uses

The Stinga is used as a flavouring ingredient in the local composition of beer and rum^[2]. This is why some mistakenly believe that Lakes beer is stinga rum.

Anomaly.

Morbid stingas are aggressive and immune to Rot unlike other stingas, this is most likely due to the effects of Goo on them.
