Copperactus

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This short cactus grows up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. The sickle shaped stem is yellow-green, and is covered in brittle grey spines. The cuboid body is copper, and is covered in thousands of flexible yellow spines.

It is fast growing, taking 11 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with petals that are lilac at the sides and pastel orange at the center grow at the top, reappearing once every 10 years. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 40 petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like garlic.

The cactus's skin is very thick, the peach flesh is rough, and the light brown sap is thin.
