Botanists have spent a lot of time studying Vilesect, fascinated by the unique symbiosis between the flower and the mushroom that grow on their backs. The mushroom provides the flower vital nutrients, whilst the flower releases spores to the wind.
Vilesect are known to infest the roots of large trees en masse and drain nutrients. In seasons when it produces more pollen, the air around a Vilesect turns yellow with the powder as it walks.
