Golden Caudiciform

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This giant caudiciform grows up to 164 feet (50.0 meters) tall. The slender, pointed stem is gold and caramel, and is covered in copious amounts of rigid olive spines. It has a curved, thick, caramel trunk atop a narrow mess of rough, exposed roots. The branches are wide and pink-red and are short and thick.

The ripped-edged, stiff, pointed leaves are purple and gold. They are resistant, and take some effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 2 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with solid pink petals decorated with amber dots and a brilliant purple central disk, grow at the top, reappearing once every 7 years. The flower head is made up of many petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight star. It has a faint scent that smells like warm milk.

The caudiciform's skin is nearly impenetrable, the cream flesh is sticky, and the blue sap is thin and causes upset stomachs if consumed.


It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
